I am a soldier

Trained and conditioned

Served my time

But I didn't choose this mission

Fighting a war

I think I'm the only

Solider for the lonely



I have been wounded

Under fire

But it's not deterred

Or weakened my desire

To defend them

'Cause I'm the only

Solider for the lonely



Chorus:

For every heart that's been broken

For every kind word left unspoken

Every promise not remembered

I'll not forget

I'll not surrender

'Cause I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely



Here in the trenches

No sanctuary

Nights are long

And solitary

Nobody holds me

'Cause I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely



Repeat chorus



I'll plant a rose

I'll shed a tear

I'll die alone

No one to hear

My battle cry

'Cause I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely

I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely
