Strong Soldier
Thought I had love before but no one ever stays
Thought that I was adored but it never turned out that way
Thought a mother was to keep till she turned her back
Thought a dad was supposed to be there for me but him caring is what lacked
Thought friends were forever till they walked out of my life
Thought I would be alone never I guess I had a blinded sight
Thought a heart was meant to be full till it became broken
Thought this life of mine was to be ruled with everlasting devotion
Was I fooled
Yes I was
Do I know the answer to why
No it is just because
God chooses my destiny
Positive is now what is in store for me
Even though what I wanted became tainted
I am still here I am meant to make it
Even though people tried to bring me down
I am meant to smile
My frown is upside down
I am a strong soldier that made it through the war
Holding hope because the pain will no longer endure
