Lyrics
[Verse]
Your boots sat heavy by the door
Scuffed and torn from the days of war
I laced them up when you weren't looking
Dreamt of battles
The sound of bullets cooking
[Chorus]
But you said no son
Don’t follow me
This path is rough
It’s not what you see
The medals shine but the soul feels hollow
Don’t chase my footsteps
Don’t you follow
[Verse 2]
Your stories were fire
They lit my mind
Bravery painted
A hero defined
But you pointed to scars I couldn’t see
Said they live deeper than skin
Believe me
[Prechorus]
A soldier’s pride
A heavy crown
Lifting you up
But it drags you down
[Chorus]
No son
Don’t follow me
This path is rough
It’s not what you see
The medals shine but the soul feels hollow
Don’t chase my footsteps
Don’t you follow
[Bridge]
You said life’s a battlefield
But not just war
Find your fight
Something worth fighting for
Dreams of your own
Not shadows of mine
Your light is yours
Let it brightly shine
