Soldier

For a soldier every disease is a state of mind

Every wound be it actual or emotional is a state of mind 

I am a soldier my friend. I am a soldier 

With 2 bullets in my chest and 2 knives in my back 

I stand tall with my chest out and chin held high

Protecting my barren lands, protecting my people

I stand alone I eat alone I cry alone I sleep alone 

For a soldier depression is just a state of mind

Every emotional wound is just a state of mind 

I am a soldier my friend. I am a soldier 

With 2 bullets of courage and 2 knives of betrayal

I stand tall with my chest out and chin held high

Protecting my soul, protecting my loved ones 

I stand alone I eat alone I cry alone I sleep alone 

For a soldier every disease is a state of mind

Every wound be it actual or emotional is a state of mind 

I am a soldier my friend. I am a soldier 

I took the oath - that was the extent of my patriotism 

I gave up my life - that was the extent of my love 

I am dead now with my eyes open - and that is the extent to which I waited for victory 

For a soldier depression is just a state of mind

Every emotional wound is just a state of mind 

I am a soldier my friend. I am a soldier 

I gave my heart - that was the extent of my trust 

I gave up my life - that was the extent of my love 

I am dead now with my eyes open - and that is the extent to which I waited for bliss 

I am a soldier my friend, I am a soldier 

I won’t give up, I ll never give up
