lyrics

Young Fighter

there’s a picture of me that my grandmother painted
i keep it hanging on my wall
i’m five years old with a stick horse in my hand
in the other a pistol
young fighters fear even to tears
the day they’ve got to ride alone
when the smoke it cleared
everyone i held dear was gone / gone

ride on / young fighter / ride on / young fighter

now the horse that i ride has got steel and tires
and the pistol i wave’s got strings
and before you i stand with the heart of a man
(but) sometimes that boy needs to sing
to remember the sound when he first hit the ground
and the fear began to flow
and how the heart of a man is born when you stand
time after time beaten low

ride on / young fighter / ride on / young fighter

how could i ever know / the one’s i loved the most
would leave me up in smoke / without a prayer / not a hope
where do young fighters go / when they don’t have a home?
are they just supposed to roam / am i just supposed to roam?

will you sing / get back up / young fighter will you reach for love?
will you sing / get back up / young fighter will you reach for love?
ride on / young fighter / ride on / young fighter

there’s a picture of me that my grandmother painted
i keep it hanging on my wall
i’m five years old with a stick horse in my hand
in the other a pistol
