At eight years old

Hit like tornado

By a hidden threat

That started to grow

He's in a war

He can't ignore

Confused and scared

But not alone

His body's weakened

Prayed through the screamin'

When it got hard

He kept marching on

He stayed strong

Through it all never gave up

He stayed strong

Never looked down only looked up

He stayed strong

Showed life was worth living for

Fought everyday he's a soldier

He stayed strong

He stayed strong

25 weeks

Seemed years

New scars

A lot of tears

A kidney gone

But not hope

He knows he'll make tomorrow

His body's weakened

Prayed through the screamin'

When it got hard

He kept marching on

He stayed strong

Through it all never gave up

He stayed strong

Never looked down only looked up

He stayed strong

Showed life was worth living for

Fought everyday he's a soldier

He stayed strong

He stayed strong

The community believed

With their help

There’d be victory

He stayed strong

Through it all never gave up

He stayed strong

Never looked down only looked up

He stayed strong

Showed life was worth living for

Fought everyday he's a soldier

He stayed strong

He stayed strong
