Soldier On

Open the flood gates

This time I'll convince you to run

Wide open spaces from the days of the wasted and young

There's no broken mantras

Just cross off the list and it's gone

Believe it's the one choice that could still set with the sun

So darling, now don't mess this up

The story's unanswered until it's begun

For you, soldier on, soldier on

For you, soldier on, soldier on

How can you stand there

How do you dare

Tell me you're stranded high up in the air

With their broken easels

The unease that colors your heart

Distorts all your feelings

The damage that tears you apart

But darling we all lose our way

The story's unfinished

There's holes in the page

For you, soldier on, soldier on

For you, soldier on, soldier on

How can you stand there

How do you dare

Tell me you're stranded high up in the air

Soldier on, soldier on

Soldier on, soldier on

Everyone's damaged like you

Everyone's got baggage too

So darling, now don't mess this up

The story's unanswered until it's begun

For you, soldier on, soldier on

For you, soldier on, soldier on

How can you stand there

How do you dare

Tell me you're stranded high up in the air
