[Lyric] We Are Not Soldiers (Kima Otung)

It’s written into storylines so over time I welcomed it as true
That I should take care of you, of everyone
Burdens from my mother’s side have been passed down and I am next in line
Your dreams ahead of mine, I’m number two

Look into my eyes, can’t you see I’m tired fighting my way on
This is mentally taking all of me and leaving me broken
We are not soldiers
No, no
We are not soldiers
No, no

When my life turns upside down I’m left to drown I’m told to carry on
Please do not call me strong, I’m human
I won’t wait to be defined or live my life through other people’s eyes
I don’t believe the lies, I know my mind

Look into my eyes, can’t you see I’m tired fighting my way on
I am making me a priority, this ain’t a war zone
And we are not soldiers
No, no
We are not soldiers
No
We are not soldiers, I get tired I get worn
We are not soldiers, I’m not doing this no more
