Just a Soldier
Verse 1:
I served as a soldier for the land of the free
Proudly standing up for our sweet liberty
And though I was lucky and made it home
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
I wake in panic from my dreams each day
No where to hide from those memories

Chorus:
I've asked for help but there’s none to be found
As I watch my world come tumbling down
I'm still a soldier; don't throw me away
I still need help to handle the pain
Don't let my efforts be in vain
I’m still a soldier…Just a soldier
Don't throw me away

Verse 2:
I love my wife… I love my family
But it seems like they’re all confused by me
They want me to be the man they knew
But I have changed like all soldiers do
We would all serve again, and proudly, too
Even knowing now all the things we do

Second Chorus:
An old friend lost his leg in Nam
The one he has he can barely stand
He’s still a soldier, don't throw him away
He still needs help to handle the pain
Don’t let his efforts be in vain
He’s still a soldier…Just a soldier
Don’t throw him away

Bridge:
We held the line, both night and day
Now, don't forget the price we’ve paid

Final Chorus:
We asked for help but there’s none to be found
We watch our world come crashing down
We’re still soldiers; don't throw us away
Still need some help to handle the pain
Don't let our efforts be in vain
We’re still soldiers…Just soldiers
Don't throw us away
We stood proud and would again today
We fought for you…Oh, for you
Don't throw us away; won’t just fade away…
