I have been through the heartaches,
And I have dealt with the pain.
I’ve suffered each day hiding the tears,
That want to fall like rain.
I’ve woke up each morning wishing
That things weren’t really as they are.
Yet I’ve made it through as though
My heart doesn’t bare a scar
But each night as I lay down my head
And try to get some sleep,
My soul feels empty, and my heart begins to weep.
So immense is the love that I carry around,
So great is the hurt, yet I can not breathe a sound.
Because I am a soldier, and I must stay tough,
No matter how bad things get, no matter how rough.
Cause I know one day it will all pay off,
and my life will be worth living again,
And all the pain will be gone, and I shall be whole again.
