Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 and out of the bars
[Verse 2]
He had a fire raging inside
The only way that he could survive
But it took all his faith
Till he soon became
The champion, the unknown king
[Verse 3]
Now at the top, 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
Ooh, well, it's hard to find when your love lies bleeding
[Verse 4]
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
The light that was a fight that he couldn't win
[Verse 5]
Sonny the Fighter went over the top
He traded gloves for a rifle and 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
Ooh
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Oh Sonny the Strong
Oh Sonny the fighter
Oh Sonny the Strong
Ooh, hard to fight when your friends lie bleeding
Your friends lie bleeding
Ooh, it's hard to fight when your friends lie bleeding
