You're still just a boy,
With the soul of an old man.
Tired at mind, sick at heart,
You do the best you can.
Every day, you put on your game face,
And try to be so brave.
Just trying to make your old man proud,
With every person you save.
And then, of course, there's Sammy,
Your world, your life, your all.
You do everything to protect him,
Always there to catch him if he should fall.
The weight of the world is on your shoulders,
So heavy, you fear you'll break.
All you want to do is give up,
With every step that you take.
But you carry on, like a soldier would.
You know the world depends on your strength.
You don't ever want to let anyone down,
You'll go to any length.
Have the sacrifices you've made been worth it?
What about your happiness, too?
So strong and independent on the outside,
Nobody even has a clue.
Rest your head, young soldier,
If only for a minute.
The world can wait one second longer,
But it really needs you in it.
Don't give up the fight because you're needed,
You're more important that you know,
Just take a moment to catch your breath,
Now grab your gun, and let's go.
