[Verse 1] When I think of those times In the army with the guys I know I rolled the dice And played with my life I hung on Struggled through I thought I was gonna die Perhaps I'm one of the few Who had to fight to survive [Verse 2] When I think of all that time I feel the regrets and the pain But the memories are mine And my heart and soul has been trained I know there's reason in life And that I learn only to keep on living [Chorus] But when fate cuts me like a knife Something goes wrong with my thinking I feel left by everyone And lonely all around my soul Nothing wrong have I done I feel so very cold Just want somebody to reach out Take my hand and hold it still Put some warmth in my mouth And make me remember how it feels [Bridge] And you know, you know, you know It's not so bad though, though The sun will rise soon enough Once again Make me tough [Outro] Make me tough
