Jay - The Soldier and Me (feat. Jon Statham) Lyrics

I gave twenty years to my Uncle Sam
Sweatin' blood for the homeland
I lost brothers, sisters and a part of me, too
Those days have come and gone, time for movin' on
So I sit here cared as I look upon
What the future holds, and what I need to do
Just trin' to make some sense, and know the difference

Between the Soldier and me, I'm comin' home
Pull up my jeans and face the unknown
Painful debris, turning that page
Forgiving myself and embracing the change
From the warrior I once was and the man I need to be
Yeah there's a difference between the Soldier and me

Well, I've had some lives that got left behind
And kids that ask if they're daddy's fine
No words could make them understand what I've had to be
And I protect their innocence - yeah, that's the difference

Between the soldier and me - I've paid my dues
Suffered the hell that war puts a man through
You'll never see me pity myself, or down on my luck
Cause I know too well that there's
A warrior I once was and the man I've grown to be
Yeah there's a difference between the Soldier and me

Now I watch kids play war in our back yard
And I hope that's where it ends

Between the soldier and me - I'm making amends
To my friends and family - hope they can see the difference

Between the Soldier and me, I'm comin' home
Pull up my jeans and face the unknown
Painful debris, turning that page
Forgiving myself and embracing the change
From the warrior I once was and the man I need to be
Yeah there's a difference between the Soldier and me

Such a big difference between the soldier and me
