Soldier
Keep marching
Don't look back
Don't look over your shoulder
Don't think for a moment
That the road behind you
Is a beautiful place
Safe and comfortable
It is
You are on this road
This never-ending, twisted road
For a reason not yet understood
You cannot turn back, Soldier
You cannot turn off this road
You are trapped on a one-way street
Walking and walking
Daring to rest for but a moment
Before getting up and walking again
Soldier
Keep marching
That's it
That's it
Don't stop
Don't give up
Keep traveling, Soldier
On this lonely, uneven road
And clinging to the hope
That you will become stronger
And braver because you didn't give up
Even when the road seemed endless
And littered with golden voices telling you
To give in and stop challenging yourself
To find the truth
That traveling on this road has only made you stronger
