The Soldier Song

(专辑： The Backpack Sessions - 2016)

Mother I'm fine
Everything's okay
It doesn't help to worry anyway
I'll be back before you know
You'll be so proud to know
I was strong
I didn't let you down

Mother, I lied
This is not for me
I've seen so many people die
And somehow I'm still here
And I don't know why I should be
The lucky one who gets to see
Another morning through these tired eyes

Mother I'm dying
Nothing more to give
My body breathes but I don't want to live
And the bullet that's supposed to go
Inside some poor son's back I hope
It blows up in my face
So I can say

Mother I died
And you won't have to know
There's nothing left but anger in my soul
I never found my truth out there
I never knew why we were there
I lost my youth but no one seemed to care

Mother I'm fine
Everything's okay
It doesn't help to miss me anyway
I'll be in your heart you know
And you will be so proud to know
I was strong
I didn't let you down
I didn't let you down
I didn't let you down
I didn't let you down
