Sonny The Strong

Sonny the strong
Paid over the odds
Nobody could hear
The call of his pain
He was already aching
So many scars
From a lonely life
In & out of the bars
He had a fire raging inside
The only way that he could survive

But it took all his faith

Until he soon became
The champion
The unknown king

Now at the top
His life was never the same
When all he could hear
Was the call of his name
He wanted love
But it lost him all of the time
Well it's hard to find
When your love lies bleeding

Oh then the fame comes
And they don't wanna see you
He fought with his demons
The money and the mob
The hole he was in
But that was a fight
That he couldn't win

Sonny the fighter went over the top
Traded gloves for a rifle
Then they sent him to war
It was a deal that cost him so much more
'cause it's hard to fight when your friends lie bleeding

You know when the game's up
When there's no entertainment
Just left with his demons
The fatherless child
The outcast within
Well that was a fight
That he couldn't win

Oh, sonny the strong
Oh, sonny the fighter
Oh, sonny the strong

It's hard to fight when your friends lie bleeding
When your friends lie bleeding
