Scott a Mitchell - For the Warriors (The Battle) Lyrics

A few months ago you came back to your home
But you still have your back to the wall
The battle still rages everywhere that you roam
You can never get away from it all

Gladly you would go back if your country asked you
But this war has taken it's toll
So you swallow your pride with a Xanax or two
Because you fear that you'll lose contol

You're a warrior, we appreciate what you've done for us
So many battles you've won
Now you're back home with your memories so real
But your battle has now just begun

You survived your deployments both times before
But this time something went wrong
The explosion horrendous your buddies were no more
You were laid up for so very long

Now it's a struggle remembering today
Friends and family they try to reach out
You try whiskey to numb the pain for a day
But it only brings darkness and doubt

You're a warrior, we appreciate what you've done for us
So many battles you've won
Now you're back home with your memories so real
But your battle has now just begun

You graduated the academy with your heart full of fire
Brave souls fought in your command
After 20 long years you decide to retire
And there's some things you can't understand

Another text comes over your phone today
It's from a brave soldier's young wife
You choke back the tears, can't think what to say
Another warrior has taken his life

You're a warrior, we appreciate what you've done for us
So many battles you've won
Now you're back home with your memories so real
But your battle has now just begun

You're a warrior, you're in the fight of your life
And it's not in your nature to run
With some faith and some help from others like you
This battle can also be won
