“Battle Scars Inside”

Verse 1

There’s a silence in the barracks,

That nobody wants to break,

Some wounds don’t bleed on the outside,

But they’re heavy all the same.

You can march a thousand miles,

Still can’t outrun the night,

Carry shadows from the service,

That never leave the fight.

Chorus

Some of us are fighting battles,

No medals ever show,

Haunted by the memories,

That only we can know.

We wear the uniform with pride,

But the hardest war’s inside,

Every day’s a fight for freedom,

From the demons we can’t hide.

Verse 2

The VA halls are crowded,

With stories left untold,

Of brothers, sisters, warriors,

Still carrying the load.

We salute and stand together,

Even when we’re breaking down,

‘Cause healing starts with courage,

Not silence in the sound.

Chorus

Some of us are fighting battles,

No medals ever show,

Haunted by the memories,

That only we can know.

We wear the uniform with pride,

But the hardest war’s inside,

Every day’s a fight for freedom,

From the demons we can’t hide.

Bridge

It takes more than boots and rifles,

To come home and be whole,

Sometimes it takes another soldier,

To help you grab control.

Final Chorus

Some of us are fighting battles,

That no one else can see,

The cost of service follows home,

It’s carved in you and me.

We wear the uniform with pride,

But the hardest war’s inside,

Every day’s a fight for freedom,

From the demons we can’t hide.
