Mary Gauthier - Soldiering On Lyrics

I was bound to somethin' bigger
And more important than a single human life
I wore my uniform with honor
My service was not a sacrifice

But what saves you in the battle
Can kill you at home
A soldier
Soldiering on

You don't fight for yourself
You fight for the ones by your side
And they do the same for you
And to live, you must be willing to die

But, what saves you in the battle
Can kill you at home
A soldier
Soldiering on

Suck it up, shut it down
It don't matter how you feel
Mission first, just drive on
A soldier is a cog inside a wheel

Up or down, all for one
The closest family I have known
A soldier
Soldiering on

I was bound to somethin' bigger
And more important than a single human life
I wore my uniform with honor
And my service was not a sacrifice

But what saves you in the battle
Can kill you at home
A soldier
Soldiering on

A soldier
Soldiering on
