**The Battle Road Soldier**
**Verse 1:**
I see a soldier walking down the road,
With strength in his heart, carrying a heavy load.
He knows at any moment, his life could change,
In the face of conflict, where the stakes are strange.
His eyes are steady, gazing into the sun,
A quiet prayer whispered for the battles he's won.
"Forgive me, oh God," he prays in the night,
"For our freedom’s worth fighting, for what’s just and right."
**Chorus:**
It's hard to be a soldier, torn from loved ones they adore,
Sent to distant lands, through the thunder and the roar.
It’s hard to be a soldier, you can see it in their face,
But they stand tall and proud, for this is their place.
**Verse 2:**
Driving tanks through the dust, made of steel and might,
Not just in the movies, but in the heat of the fight.
Thunderous explosions echo left and right,
This soldier knows deep down, he won’t sleep tonight.
Broken dreams lie heavy on the battleground,
Families mourn in silence, in a faraway town.
He's just one among many, a hero to us all,
But a piece of our hearts breaks with each fallen call.
**Chorus:**
It's hard to be a soldier, torn from loved ones they adore,
Sent to distant lands, through the thunder and the roar.
It’s hard to be a soldier, you can see it in their face,
But they stand tall and proud, for this is their place.
**Bridge:**
So when you see a soldier, extend a hand of peace,
Help take the weight of war, let their burdens cease.
For if it wasn’t for the brave, who answer freedom’s call,
America wouldn’t stand proud, united we stand tall.
**Chorus:**
It's hard to be a soldier, torn from loved ones they adore,
Sent to distant lands, through the thunder and the roar.
It’s hard to be a soldier, you can see it in their face,
But they stand tall and proud, for this is their place.
**Outro:**
So raise your voice for those who fight,
In the name of freedom, they shine so bright.
The Battle Road Soldier, with honor and grace,
For the love of our country, they embrace their place.
