When the men are at war with the war
And the pressure is on his back
His standing in the back of the train
And he can't seem to get off the track

If friends have deserted him
And there's no one else to go
It seems the battle is over
And all the hope is gone!

Chorus
That's when a soldier cries
There's nothing left to give
And the world stand still and they cry
And the winds the blow and the birds don't fly
When the tears fall from his eyes
When a soldier cries
The sun don't start and the rain won't stop
From falling when he's down
He needs some help from his lady
And a smile from his baby
And the soldier cries!

When he wakes up in the morning
Still feeling pain from yesterday
Is standing face to face with life
And he wants to run away

Cause if friends have deserted him
And there's no one else to go
It seems the battle is over
And all the hope is gone!

Chorus
That's when a soldier cries
There's nothing left to give
And the world stand still and they cry
And the winds the blow and the birds don't fly
When the tears fall from his eyes
When a soldier cries, when he cries
The sun don't start and the rain won't stop
From pouring when he's down
Oh he needs some help from his lady
And a smile from his baby
When the soldier cries!

Sometimes it gets so hard, oh, oh
And I know that he wants to cry
I don't wanna lose my pride
But the stress can make me die
There goes my heart, there goes my heart
Unleash my fears!
It's all on the table now
It's over, take me there!
Not holding back, here comes my dreams, oh, oh
I've been holding for so long, so long!

That's when a soldier cries
The sun don't shine
And the rain won't stop
From falling when he's down
He needs some help from his lady
And a smile from his baby
When a soldier cries
When a soldier cries!
