Soldier On - Keywest

His mother’s son, you know he tries and tries

But in the end it’s all a waste of time

'Cause even when he’s right he’s wrong

Daddy’s little girl just cries and cries

Seeing the world through teenage eyes

Listening to another sad song

Hoping change is coming around the corner

But even when you’re halfway to heaven

You’re only halfway through hell

Walking on the pathway together

Throwing pennies in the wishing well

Nothing left to do but soldier on

My mother dried up my tears

«Son, you’re going to live for many years

So there ain’t much sense in being on your own»

Now people keep saying don’t be no fool

Don’t play with love, she’s much too cruel

To win, you need a heart made out of stone

Hoping change is coming around the corner

But even when you’re halfway to heaven

You’re only halfway through hell

Walking on the pathway together

Throwing pennies in the wishing well

Nothing left to do but soldier on

His mother’s son, you know he tries and tries

But in the end it’s all a waste of time

'Cause even when he’s right he’s wrong
