Intro: 


                                            
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

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
