From Soldier to Family Man

[Verse] Eighty-six born in a small-town haze just a kid Dirt roads dreams in the fields lived Trained to fight secrets dark as the night Master sergeant yeah never backing down [Verse 2] Left the ranks found love real pure and true Kids laughter ringing echoes in the room Old man now work for the state doing good Family my rock my bliss my truth understood [Chorus] From soldier to family man battle scars fading Found love in the chaos kids hands shaping Through the storm through the strife always fighting Hold them tight through the night love igniting [Verse 3] Village roots run deep in my veins can't escape But the dreams we chased painted brighter shapes Uniform traded for suits ties and duties new Still the heart of a soldier yeah still staying true [Bridge] Glimpses of the battlefield flood my mind Whispered secrets of our time left behind But the warmth of home arms around remind Love's the real war won with hearts intertwined [Chorus] From soldier to family man battle scars fading Found love in the chaos kids hands shaping Through the storm through the strife always fighting Hold them tight through the night love igniting
