Lyrics

Battle bruised and scarred
holding my weapon I don’t know where they are
I’ve held my post for years
playing the shepherd and mother and soldier from out here
waiting on the reinforcements out on the front line
are they coming?
I was a simple child
holding my tenderness always soft and true
I try to keep yours safe
but duty’s exhausting and every soldier needs a break
I try not to turn around
and while I watch you I listen for their sound
I’m giving all I’ve got
In darker moments I wonder if they will come at all
