i have always told you, when times are getting rough
someone will always hold you,
But hey, what i always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?

i can see it when you smile
fighting back your tears
i can see your sad
but you suck it up and try to laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
because your scared, and no one's there
your all alone watching the years pass you by
we're  with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
we're all here, no more nightmares

sorry that you had to see this
they tried to keep you sheltered from it
now we sit here reminessing
and waiting for that one last frickn blessing.
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
just a little girl
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
i know its confusing to you
when you're daddys always on the move, and your mommy's partying on the news
but hey, straighten up soldure
stiffen that upper lip

i can see it when you smile
fighting back your tears
i can see your sad
but you suck it up and try to laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
because your scared, and no one's there
your all alone watching the years pass you by
we're  with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
we're all here, no more nightmares

i'm sorry that you dont understand it
you were supposed to be sheilded from this
instead you had to see it
and now you try not to believe it
i know you miss your mamma
and you never see your dad
but girl listen, they're trying to give you the life they never had

now you think you're all alone
in the world
and its so cold
you treasure the things that you have been told
and the memmories you try to hold
but they're slippin
and your grippin
holding on tight as you can
but they're fading
as fast as they can

they just want you to be happy
and give you all you ever want
but that means broke and away
and puting you up infront
now you bite your lip everytime they leave
stacking boxs infront of the door
they come into the room
seeing the boxs
you dont want them to be able to get through
they said they'd be home for good
now they say that you missunderstood
your screaming you said that was the last time that you're going away for good
they have to leave anyway
wishing that they could turn around and stay
they try to tell you that everything will be ok

i can see it when you smile
fighting back your tears
i can see your sad
but you suck it up and try to laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
because your scared, and no one's there
your all alone watching the years pass you by
we're  with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
we're all here, no more nightmares
