This video is much different than what you are probably used to seeing on this channel. For those that don't know, I am part of the team for the Eyes of Freedom. The Eyes of Freedom and Silent Battle travel the country to honor all who have answered our nation's call and to acknowledge the struggles of those fighting a silent battle. At the time of this video creation, the exhibit has traveled to thirty-six states and over 400 events.
This music video is a first for the Eyes of Freedom. Trying to find the correct music for a video can be difficult, especially when looking for a song with lyrics. Using AI and just a few prompts, the result is "Not Your Scars Alone (Silent Battle)", a very emotionally changed song. Please share this video.
If you are fighting a silent battle, they will listen.

Lyrics: to "Not Your Scars Alone (Silent Battle)"
[Verse 1]
Boots on the ground
Names on the glass
Faces in flame-light
Frozen in the past
Canvas and candles
Folded flags in a line
I trace every portrait
Like I’m borrowing time
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the wars that never made the news
In the tremble of a hand
In the way they move
[Chorus]
These eyes of freedom
Are looking back at me
Every stare a story
I was too blind to see
If you’re fighting in the shadows
Thinking no one understands
Your silent battle
Won’t be fought alone again
[Verse 2]
Dog tags tapping
On a trembling chest
Checklists and coffee
But never any rest
Crowd all around you
Yet you feel out of range
Laughing at the small talk
While your heart’s in the change
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to wear that perfect face
We can hold the hurt here
We can share the weight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If you’re counting down the ceilings
In a dark and quiet room
If you’re staring at the doorframe
Like it’s the only way through
Call my name
Call my phone
Call the line that keeps you home
You are not your scars alone
You are not your scars alone
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[whispered vocals]
Eyes of freedom
On every empty chair
Stay with me tonight
I’m not going anywhere
