Boy Soldier

Boy soldier

How long you gonna fight

Boy soldier for what they told you is right

Boy soldier what if they told you to do

What's actually wrong for you

Actually wrong for you

Boy soldier

Can you keep your mama safe

Boy soldier from the demons in her head

Boy soldier what are you gonna do

Once they come for you

Once they come for you

She keeps a space behind the closet

If it gets bad she can hide you there

And if you're sure she's really lost it

You make sure it's a family affair

Boy soldier your older brother is ten

Boy soldier seems like a lifetime until then

Boy soldier if he tells you to go

Then that's what you've got to do

Then that's what you've got to do

He keeps a space behind the closet

When it gets bad then he can hide you there

And when your stepdad really lost it

He'll make sure it's his burden to bear

One day you'll both get out of there

Boy soldier trying to find a way

To be bolder

To make it better today

Boy soldier how long will you have to wait

Will it be too late
