Jim Chastain - The Army Man (DEMO)

An army man can't help
But treat life as a war
After years of hardship
He yearns to struggle more
To be reminded of
The good old days
And while it hurts still thinkin'
'Bout the pain
The war brought him purpose
He could never have attained
A purpose as fleetin' as the sun
Hoppin' place to place
Lookin' for a sign
Wastin' all the years he
Could'a spent more wise
But then he found a cause
He could fight for
And while the goal had always
Been to win
Once the war was won
He never felt so lost within
Way deep down
He hoped for more
He longed for the purpose
He had felt he had before
With time, he grew old
Like all things do
And now you see him here
Still waitin' for his sign
His hair's gone gray
His teeth decayed
He lost one of his eyes
But never will he
Let his weakness show
If he is lost, the world
Will never know
He may be dyin'
Silently and slow
But for an army man
That's how the struggle goes
