Stand Down, My Soldier

Stand down, my soldier.

No need to fight today.

I promise you, you're safe.

Everything will be okay.

Stand down, my soldier.

Armor weighs on your chest.

I promise you, you're safe.

Put your shields to rest.

Stand down, my soldier.

I'm not here to hurt you.

I promise you, you're safe.

Look, I have scars too.

Stand down, my soldier.

Let your walls come down.

I promise you, you're safe.

In loneliness, you'll drown.

Remember the days when

you didn't feel or see

the hurt that life brings.

Those days, you were free.

I know you must protect

your country, your home.

But a country with no one,

is a country alone.

So,

Stand down, my soldier.

Let me in, let me in.

I promise, you're safe.

Together, we can win.

Stand down, my soldier.

No need to fight today.

Stand guard another time.

Everything will be okay.
