Soldier

Wake up in the morning
I struggle to my feet
One old friend
One new hope
Won’t accept defeat
To the mirror
Dim the light
Cause it won’t lie
Will she even recognize me
Right before her eyes
If it’s up to me
There would be no looking back
No don’t look back
How it’s gonna be
I’m on a one way track
On a road back at light speed
If it’s up to me
There would be no looking back
I can’t look back
Can’t read the paper
So far too close to home
Will I spend my last days
Scarred and all alone
To serve my country
Do what’s right
A pledge I swore
Now deemed unfit
For my new life
Fighting someone else’s war
If it’s up to me
There would be no looking back
No don’t look back
How it’s gonna be
I’m on a one way track
On a road back at light speed
If it’s up to me
There would be no looking back
I can’t look back
Can’t wait to see you baby
I’m coming home this time to say
Everyone is bound to see
My youth is worn away
I’ll be hoping
But I’ll accept what you decide
Can a heart
Help eyes to see
The beauty still inside
If it’s up to me
There would be no looking back
I can’t look back
How it’s gonna be
I’m on a one way track
On a road back at light speed
If it’s up to me
There would be no looking back
I can’t look back
