Soul of a Soldier

Yeah I see you and I know you see me You like the way that I’ve come to be The man that I am, the thing you are not A person that’s whole, I can not be stopped As the sun and the moon change over time My persona embodies and transcends all time A woman’s dream man, a man’s worst nightmare How I conduct myself they can’t help but to stare For I am whole and so must you shall To continue this dance, not shallow like Hal But I don’t complete what is deemed whole We simply add on to what is already whole I bless what I touch and I reap what I sow Something mysterious is what I bring to your door On the surface you see brown and hazel But inside this paradigm there can be no appraisal Accurate enough to define what I am Simple enough to make you understand Open enough that all can come and see But selective enough to maintain my privacy There’s a war in my mind that no one is safe from In need of some peace time so one can recoup from The ongoing struggle, the battle without end A soul of a soldier who’s lost many a friend The path less traveled is not that easy The brush in the way makes the wind less breezy So now the path becomes hot and muggy But pressing on forward without the help of a buggy I can’t lay down my weapon with dreams of someone special At the end of the road so times become stressful It doesn’t take much to be a quitter But it takes more than strength to come out a winner
