about

"It's a long, hard road, but I appreciate the more / What it is we're fighting for."

A song inspired by Remembrance Day and the veterans who fought to defend our freedom.

lyrics

(La-da-da-da…)

So it unfolds,
A new story to be told,
And I hope I’ll be there to hear

I’m lying awake,
Waiting for dawn yet to break,
No escaping, - lost in my fear.

And it’s eating away,
With each and every day,
That’s spent far away from your arms.

A warm, sweet embrace,
In a happier place,
Would be welcome; I wish to disarm.

(Pre-Chorus)
As I’m falling away
In a mournful decay
Shadows of dreams crowd my mind.

I sweep them under the mat
And I try to get back
A clean healthy image of home.

(Chorus)
Oh, it’s a long hard road, but, I appreciate the more
What it is that we’re fighting for.

So, I stand; proud and tall
For the ones that I love, I will never fall.

My memories are keeping me strong;
Though this isn’t where I belong
I will soldier on.

(La-da-da-da…)

Under one sun
It’s a beautiful one
But, it’s clouded and too dark to see

Without your beautiful face
Your smell and your taste
In a world where it’s hard to breathe

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)
(Instrumental)

(Chorus)

(La-da-da-da…)

Oh, my memories are keeping me strong;
Though this isn’t where I belong,
I will soldier on.
