Soldier On


Fate is never there
To lend itself to a good decision
And the easy part of life
Is everything except the living

The straighter road is faster
But the last thing that you need
So find me on the winding road
And soldier on with me

The steadfast hope for reason
Will end up leaving you behind
So open up that heart of yours
And let it free your mind

The safest bet will never get you
Where you need to be
And when that inhibition's gone
You can soldier with me

It only takes one in front of the other
And then another again
Left and right, and day and night
And God, I hope this never ends

The only thing I'm counting on
Is my clear need for you
And the chance that I've made something
That no other man can do

So one more ridge together
Let's ascend and then we'll see
If the miles that we've gone
Will mean you'll soldier on with me
If the miles that we've gone
Will mean you'll soldier on with me
