[Verse]
He fought the storms inside his mind
Lost in the war no guide to find
Against the shadows he drew his line
But in his silence the pain would shine
[Chorus]
Dad was a soldier no medal in hand
Battled his demons but couldn’t withstand
A hero in heart though the world won’t see
Left scars in the air where he used to be
[Verse 2]
Taught me strength but he bore the weight
I saw his smile but I knew the ache
His battlefield was an unseen state
A fight with time that came too late
[Chorus]
Dad was a soldier no medal in hand
Battled his demons but couldn’t withstand
A hero in heart though the world won’t see
Left scars in the air where he used to be
[Bridge]
The shadows whispered they pulled him near
He stood tall but fought with fear
Now I carry his fight it’s crystal clear
To honor the love we held sincere
[Chorus]
Dad was a soldier no medal in hand
Battled his demons but couldn’t withstand
A hero in heart though the world won’t see
Left scars in the air where he used to be
