[Verse 1]
Moonlight shining on her face,
I gotta leave this place.
Shadows whisper through the night,
But her eyes still burn so bright.
[Verse 2]
Heart heavy with the soldier’s call,
Will she stand or will she fall?
Chains wrapped ‘round her soul so tight,
Trapped inside that house with no light.
[Chorus]
Gotta hold on, please be strong,
Even when the nights are long.
Wish I could take her pain away,
But duty calls — I can’t stay.
[Verse 3]
Bruises hidden, tries to hide,
In the cold, he keeps her tied.
Broken whispers, silent screams,
In her dreams, I see her dreams.
[Bridge]
Marching forward, grit my teeth,
While her cries echo underneath.
Promise breaks, skies turn gray,
How can I protect her this way?
[Chorus]
Gotta hold on, please be strong,
Even when the nights are long.
Wish I could take her pain away,
But duty calls — I can’t stay.
