Lyrics
Back from a war that left its message
On his heart and mind
His nights weren't fit for sleeping
And his days weren't worth a dime
But a woman found her way into that troubled fitful soul
And the last time that I saw him
That broken man was whole
She told him Darlin' don't give up
'Cause I'll be strong enough
I a not afraid to love you
Even when it's rough
So bring me all your sadness
And we'll put it in the ground
You have worn the thorns
It's time to wear the crown
She held him through the darkness
As the nightmares left his head
And pulled him back to safety
When his mind strayed near the edge
So the peaceful times grew longer
And as the wounds began to heal
They found that love forged in hardship
Can be stronger than steel
