(Intro) They Got me thinkin’, Lord Will they ever understand? Got me, got me fightin’ Lonely as a broken man Lonely, lonely (Verse 1) My mind’s torn, battle worn Steel scars from the things I’ve done this war is long Lord, I don’t know where I belong (Chorus) It’s heavy, heavy, this load I bear They say move on, but it ain’t that fair I got my pride, but it’s fragile there If you see me in the night, say a prayer ‘Cause it was hell to make it back, but it’s cold out here (Verse 2) I pray my brothers get some peace I pray this pain don’t sink too deep I pray the life I lost finds me still But I’m just a man climbin’ uphill Every step, it gets so steep But a soldier don’t have time to weep (Chorus) It’s heavy, heavy, this load I bear They say move on, but it ain’t that fair I got my pride, but it’s fragile there If you see me in the night, say a prayer ‘Cause it was hell to make it back, but it’s cold out here (Bridge) You ain’t felt the way it burns In a room full of faces, but no one turns I break down, but I play it fine Keep my troubles hidin’ deep inside (Outro) I’m still swingin’, still holdin’ tight A soldier don’t give up the fight But Lord, if you’re listenin’, I need some light The road is long, and I’m losin’ sight Steel scars, and a heart gone wrong Every mile, I’m still movin’ on I’m a soldier carryin’ the weight of a song Hoping someone out there sings along
