Not A Soldier
Brenn HillRed Cliffs Press Music (BMI)

Verse 1:
I see in your eyes that your heart is hurtin'
You're a mountain of muscle and a trained combat veteran
You're an infantry warrior you can kill or restrain
You'll follow an order through hellfire and pain

Verse 2:
Your war never ended and it never will
There's scars on your heart that never can heal
The world keeps on turnin' the days turn to night
Your family needs you but you're lost in the fight

Chorus:
And I'm not a soldier and I never will be
I've taken for granted what it costs to be free
So tell me your story then tell it again
No I'm not a soldier but I will be your friend

Verse 3:
Let me ride beside you through Kunar River Valley
And the mountainside battle where the Taliban rallied
Where the hot rush of war turns fear into fire
And the revenant's reckoning is your only desire

Repeat Chorus:

Verse 4:
I'll listen forever if that's what it takes
I'll call to the Heavens and for Heaven's sake
Hold on and keep fightin' for you always will be
An American Soldier and a hero to me
An American Soldier and a hero to me
