Sometimes I wanna cry, but I swallow my tears
Told to hide as a man, through all of these years
Dealing with the stress, my heart's been torn apart
Facing every battle, never showing the scars

They say a soldier stands tall, never shows the pain
But inside, I'm drowning in this silent rain

I walk around like I'm a soldier, carrying this weight
Sleepless nights, restless fights, in a lonely state
Anointed, I stay strong, but the burden's so deep
No one cries for me, so I bury it and keep

My girl said I don't know, how to make her smile
She's in love with someone else, gone another mile
Lost my parents, now who's gonna cry for me?
Living in the shadows of what used to be

They say a soldier stands tall, never shows the pain
But inside, I'm drowning in this silent rain

I walk around like I'm a soldier, carrying this weight
Sleepless nights, restless fights, in a lonely state
Anointed, I stay strong, but the burden's so deep
No one cries for me, so I bury it and keep

My girl said I don't know, how to make her smile
She's in love with someone else, gone another mile
Lost my parents, now who's gonna cry for me?
Living in the shadows of what used to be
Living in the shadows of what used to be
Living in the shadows of what used to be
Living in the shadows of what used to be

Every night's a battle, every step is hard to take
I've got to be strong, for my own sake
Through the fire, through the storm, I'll stand my ground
Even when it feels like I'm about to break down

I walk around like I'm a soldier, carrying this weight
Sleepless nights, restless fights, in a lonely state
Anointed, I stay strong, but the burden's so deep
No one cries for me, so I bury it and keep

I'm a soldier in the night, fighting battles you can't see
With the weight upon my shoulders, I'll rise, I'll be free
Anointed, I stay strong, with the strength to carry on
In the silence of my tears, I'll find where I belong

I'm a soldier in the night, fighting battles you can't see
With the weight upon my shoulders, I'll rise, I'll be free
Anointed, I stay strong, with the strength to carry on
In the silence of my tears, I'll find where I belong

ooooh!

I walk around like I'm a soldier, carrying this weight
Sleepless nights, restless fights, in a lonely state
Anointed, I stay strong, but the burden's so deep
In the silence of my tears, I'll find where I belong
