Battlefield Blues

(Chorus) I'm just a soldier, lost in the fight Hopin' for the day, I'll see the light Wanna hold my loved ones, in my arms so tight But I'm stuck in this battle, just tryna make it through the night (Verse 1) Yeah, it's like I'm trapped in this hell, bullets whizzin', can't tell If I'm livin' or just dyin', in this warzone, I dwell Every night, I close my eyes, prayin' for some peace But the echoes of the gunfire, they just never cease Got my brothers by my side, fightin' for the cause But deep down in my heart, I'm just missin' all the applause Of my family back at home, wonderin' if I'm okay If they knew the truth of it all, they'd be beggin' me to stay (Chorus) I'm just a soldier, lost in the fight Hopin' for the day, I'll see the light Wanna hold my loved ones, in my arms so tight But I'm stuck in this battle, just tryna make it through the night (Chorus) I'm just a soldier, lost in the fight Hopin' for the day, I'll see the light Wanna hold my loved ones, in my arms so tight But I'm stuck in this battle, just tryna make it through the night (Verse 2) Memories flashin' by, of a life that used to be Before I signed that dotted line, before I crossed that sea Now I'm dodgin' bombs and bullets, in a foreign land But all I really want is just to hold my baby's hand Got a letter from my girl, she said she's waitin' for me But with each day that passes, it's gettin' harder to believe Will I make it back alive, or will I be a memory? I'm just tryna find a way, back to my family (Bridge) They say freedom ain't free, but this price is too high I'm sacrificin' everything, just to survive But if I make it outta here, I'll never take for granted Every moment with my loved ones, in the life that I've been handed (Bridge) They say freedom ain't free, but this price is too high I'm sacrificin' everything, just to survive But if I make it outta here, I'll never take for granted Every moment with my loved ones, in the life that I've been handed (Verse 3) So I'll keep pushin' forward, through the blood, sweat, and tears Prayin' to the heavens, to calm my fears I'll fight with all I've got, 'til the battle's won And I'm standin' on home soil, under the same old sun (Chorus) I'm just a soldier, lost in the fight Hopin' for the day, I'll see the light Wanna hold my loved ones, in my arms so tight But I'm stuck in this battle, just tryna make it through the night (Outro) Yeah, to all my soldiers out there, hold on tight Keep fightin' for your dreams, for your right One day, we'll all make it home, under the same old sky Until then, keep the faith, and never say goodbye [Instrumental]
