KIANJA Lost Soldiers Lyrics

Verse 1:
Deep in the trenches, heavy your loaded, fight or flight.
Holding emotions close to your chest to defend your pride.
You look for your father, needed to ask him how to be the man. But he’s no example, I know you wanna do better, better than that.

Chorus:
Lost soldiers, somehow you’re gonna find your way. Lost soldiers, we really gotta set this straight.

Verse 2:
Under the armor of your bravado’s a fragile heart.
Scared of commitment, afraid of the ending before you start. She tried to love you, pulling you up but you pushed her aside. Don’t have to follow your comrades.
I know you wanna be a leader, so lead with your light.

Chorus:
Lost soldiers, somehow you’re gonna find your way. Lost soldiers, we really gotta set this straight.

Bridge:
We need you to provide and protect us,
No, I don’t wanna do it all on my own.
We need you stronger than ever to help us carry this load.
Keep fighting, keep striving, don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Keep fighting, keep striving ‘cause we need you to come back home.

Chorus:
Lost soldiers, somehow you’re gonna find your way. Lost soldiers, we really gotta set this straight.

Outro:
All you need is love, when it gets too much. Let me hold you. You wanna be the man, I know that you can. Let me show you. All you need is love, when it gets too much. Let me hold you. You wanna be the man, I know that you can. Let me show you.

Chorus:
Lost soldiers, somehow you’re gonna find your way. Lost soldiers, we really gotta set this straight
