(Verse 1 – Country Melody) He sits on the porch, drink in his hand, Lookin’ at the dirt like it’s blood in the sand. Echoes of battle still ring in his ears, A lifetime of war stacked up in the years. He don't talk much ‘bout what he’s seen, Just mutters “Lord, are You hearin’ me?” Psalm 34:18 in his chest like a brand, “The Lord is near to the broken man.” (Chorus – Sung) I see your scars, I hear your pain, You ain't alone, He knows your name. Though the fire took its toll, left you bruised and torn, There’s mercy waitin’ on the other shore. (Verse 2 – Rap Flow) He was eighteen, boots on the ground, Did what he had to when the shots rang out. Lost good friends, made choices that burn, Now he fights those demons when the night takes a turn. They say, "Thou shall not kill," but war don’t ask, Romans 8:1—ain't no chains from the past. Yet every time he looks in the mirror, All he sees is a ghost standin’ there clearer. (Bridge – Spoken Over Music) "For though I walk through the valley, I won't fear no death," He whispers in the dark when he takes his last breath. But the war ain't over, not out in the field— It’s the battle inside that won’t ever heal
