Soldiering on


I was bound to something bigger
And more important than a single human life
I wore my uniform with honor
My service was not a sacrifice
But what saves you in the battle
Can kill you at home
A soldier, soldiering on

You don't fight for yourself
You fight for the ones by your side
And they do the same for you
And to live you must be willing to die
But what saves you in the battle
Can kill you at home
A soldier, soldiering on

Suck it up, shut it down
It don't matter how you feel
Mission first, just drive on
A soldier is a cog inside a wheel
Up or down, all for one
The closest family I have known
A soldier, soldiering on

I was bound to something bigger
And more important than a single human life
I wore my uniform with honor
My service was not a sacrifice
But what saves you in the battle
Can kill you at home
A soldier, soldiering on

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics SOLDIERING ON of MARY GAUTHIER is also present in the album Rifles and rosary beads (2018)

Biografia

Mary Gauthier (born March 1962 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American folk singer-songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Gauthier was adopted by an Italian Catholic couple in Thibodaux, Louisiana. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in drug rehabilitation, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. Struggling to deal with being a lesbian, she used drugs and alcohol. She wrote her first song at age 35. Her music is often introspective and touches on themes of loss, love, redemption, and the struggle against one's demons. Among her most representative songs are 'I Drink', 'Mercy Now' and 'The Found'.
