Verse One:
It speaks of desire; it wants you to die,
yet has a gleam, a wild hope in its' eye.
It speaks of calm, willing you to live
when you think it's empty it has more to give –
to the heart that’s weary and tired of days gone by

Verse Two:
It speaks of love, the summers with what's her name?
It was frozen that winter when she became the one that got away.
It speaks of hate, of an enemy you will always regret;
how a friend turned his back on you and you can never forget -
falling to your knees saying "I take it all back"

Chorus:
You're a soldier, in a one man parade -
at war with the river, as it twists and turns away.
You'll wake up, on one fragile broken day
to find the strength to carry on
no matter what "they" say.

Verse Three:
It speaks of healing, here you met your wife
the overlooking oak, now knows the sting of your knife.
Your initials are reflected in the stream
like the promise that's reflected in your memories -
as you walked down an aisle and said I do.

Chorus:
You're a soldier, in a one man parade -
at war with the river, as it twists and turns away.
You'll wake up, on one fragile broken day
to find the strength to carry on
no matter what "they" say.

Bridge:
Lay down your arms and just live, just live!
