The Veteran

Innocence is like a shelter from this life which is like the rain
Weathering every side of me that I try to keep dry
Common sense is like the wind that drives the clouds away
expose the sun
And now it's drying every part of me
I can no longer cry

Oh, I'm a veteran
of a lonely life
Yes, I'm a veteran
I'm not the only one

All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the way were meant to live
Created for love, desire to give
All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the race we were designed to run
Made to sing and gather as one

Beautiful Is like a cross upon a church at first light
Yet exposing every dark and messed up part me and I stay away

Oh, I'm a veteran
of a lonely life
Yes, I'm a veteran
I'm not the only one

All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the way were meant to live
Created for love, desire to give
All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the race we were designed to run
Made to sing and gather as one

All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the race we were designed to run
Made to sing and gather as one

Oh, I'm a veteran
of a lonely life
Yes, I'm a veteran
I'm not the only one

All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the way were meant to live
Created for love, desire to give
All the world needs something new to rejuvenate this life
This is not the race we were designed to run
Made to sing and gather as one
