about

"Young Soldier" by Petite Celine
~ dedicated to my brother, Squid.

lyrics

There he sat on the wooden swing,
The moon above watching over him.
He kicks off with tip-toes and bitterly curses the ground.
He’s searching for something-
Searching all around.

“Who am I?”
You’ll ask the night,
“Oh, who am I,
When nothing feels right?”

Chorus:
Hold your head up, child.
Oh, hold your head up high.
If you be lost at sea,
You’ve one promise to keep:
Hold your head up
And remember me.

Secrets revealed in a lullaby-
A story told when his worlds collide.
Young soldier stay brave and learn from all these wars I have fought;
Scars that run deep-
Scars and what they’ve taught.

“Who am I?”
You’ll ask the night,
“Oh, who am I,
When nothing feels right?”

Chorus:
Hold your head up, child.
Oh, hold your head up high.
If you be lost at sea,
You’ve one promise to keep:
Hold your head up
And remember me.

Remember me...
I’ll tell you a story…
Shh, it’s okay, it’s okay,
I’m here.
And I’ll watch you grow
To know more and more.
My only words to you:
To yourself be true.

Mistakes were made in a lonely past-
Broken dolls left out on the grass.
I did it all for you.
Put my faults to use.

Chorus:
And hold your head up child.
Oh, hold your head up high.
And if you take this leap,
You’ve one promise to keep:
Just hold your head up,
Child.
