I've never ever been to war
Never won a playoff game
But, I battle more than you will know
I'm a soldier just the same

I can't tell you I love you
It's just a thing I can not do
But, believe me, If I could babe
I would tell you that it's true

I am fighting for existence
I fight new battles every day
I am stuck inside my body
With out a voice for me to say
My mind is here within me
It's the rest that doesn't go
Please remember me a hero
When it's time to let me go

I can not throw a football
Drive a car or run
I can not hold a child
But, I still can feel the sun

I can't hold you like I used to
But, I can hold you in my heart
I'm still inside here living
Don't put the horse before the cart

I am fighting for existence
I fight new battles every day
I am stuck inside my body
With out a voice for me to say
My mind is here within me
It's the rest that doesn't go
Please remember me a hero
When it's time to let me go



I love you more than ever
You are my love, forever more
You know the meaning of each smile
You own my breath and more

I love you now and always
Although I can not tell you so
Remember me a hero
When it is my time to go

I am fighting for existence
I fight new battles every day
I am stuck inside my body
With out a voice for me to say
My mind is here within me
It's the rest that doesn't go
Please remember me a hero
When it's time to let me go
