"For A Soldier" lyrics
The war is over, and he's not supposed to be a soldier anymore
Nobody understands what he's still fighting for
And we turn our backs on someone else's war
But it's never over
For a soldier
She trades her boots and faded army greens
For a ticket home and a brand new kind of fatigue
That hero's welcome brings her no relief
Cause it's never over
For a soldier
Thank you for your service, That's all he ever hears
But he can't tell the secret he's been keeping all these years
That every time they fold the flag and fire off twenty-one
Quietly he wonders who's the lucky one
The war is over, But every night he replays in his mind
The faces of his fallen friends and their lifeless eyes
He knows the truth of no man left behind
Cause it's never over
Yeah, the war is over
But it's never over
For a soldier
Nobody understands what he's still fighting for
And we turn our backs on someone else's war
But it's never over
For a soldier
She trades her boots and faded army greens
For a ticket home and a brand new kind of fatigue
That hero's welcome brings her no relief
Cause it's never over
For a soldier
Thank you for your service, That's all he ever hears
But he can't tell the secret he's been keeping all these years
That every time they fold the flag and fire off twenty-one
Quietly he wonders who's the lucky one
The war is over, But every night he replays in his mind
The faces of his fallen friends and their lifeless eyes
He knows the truth of no man left behind
Cause it's never over
Yeah, the war is over
But it's never over
For a soldier
