[Verse 1]

Colors in a brawl, in a meditation fit

Sometimes I get caught in the middle of peacing

How does one get through the all?

Didn't know, I was young, helped me

Find a way out of my crawl

[Verse 2]

When kisses were everything, the currency of couples

And shoes would get you where you're going without much in the pocket

And songs had more light than the sun, and said more than a leader

Showed me how to change the mood

[Pre-Chorus]

I was in a cloud, not in the sky, but deep inside all muffled

And I saw a version of me that I thought was torn and unsound

So I got in the cloud stretcher and I thought that I was healing

And I woke up believing that everyone could have that dream

[Chorus]

And soldier, did you feel so small?

And soldier, did you dream real pain?

And soldier, did you climb up to the highest high?

And soldier, did you holler at the earth?

And soldier, did you holler at the earth?

And soldier

[Interlude]

(was it..?)

[Verse 3]

Basics are all you ask, it was customary and

What you do for a fan who would never even know you

I'll meet you at your rest start

Lost the words and it's not healthy

Beached with everything you know

[Verse 4]

Relics of the war between you and winning

Better off like a ghost, snug in a bookshelf

Only haunting when you're read and the feeling's a page turner

Dime map from the dead

[Pre-Chorus]

There is a valley only I can see if I am empty

Off to the city, went the country and it was beaten, torn down

Oh, American stranger, is it always like this?

Losing the things to spikes and the ups and downs?

[Chorus]

And soldier, did you feel so small?

And soldier, did you dream real pain?

And soldier, did you climb up to the highest high?

And soldier, did you holler at the earth?

And soldier, did you holler at the earth?

And soldier, did you holler at the earth?

And soldier, did you holler at the earth?

And soldier

[Outro]

Wind slows on my clothes

Wind slows, there I blows

Wind slows on my clothes

Wind slows, there I blows

Wind slows on my clothes

Wind slows, there I blows

Wind slows on my clothes

Wind slows
