Last One Through The Door

He wakes up before the sunrise hits the sky

Coffee’s cold but he don’t mind

Boots by the door, weight on his chest

World on his back but he calls it a test

He don’t talk about the pain he hides

Just says “I’m good” every time you ask why

Gives his last dollar, gives his last breath

Walks that line ‘til there’s nothing left

He don’t need no spotlight

Never asks for praise

Just keeps on giving pieces

Of himself away

He’s the last one through the door

Makes sure everybody’s safe before

He ever thinks about himself

Puts his heart on someone else

Yeah, he carries all the weight

Smiles like it’s light as day

If love had a name, you’d know for sure

It’s the man who’s last one through the door

Calls his mama just to hear her voice

Tells her he’s fine, don’t give her a choice

Friends lean on him when the nights get long

He stays up late just to keep them strong

Every scar tells a story untold

Of battles he fought so others won’t fold

He’s breaking inside but you’d never know

‘Cause he’d rather bleed than let it show

He don’t need no medals

Don’t care what they say

He just keeps on fighting

Through another day

He’s the last one through the door

Makes sure everybody’s safe before

He ever thinks about himself

Puts his heart on someone else

Yeah, he carries all the weight

Smiles like it’s light as day

If love had a name, you’d know for sure

It’s the man who’s last one through the door

And if he falls, he won’t cry out loud

Too busy lifting up the crowd

But even heroes need a hand

Someone to help them stand again

Yeah… he don’t see the good he’s done

All the lives he’s saved, one by one

He’s the last one through the door

Still giving even when he’s sore

Never asking for the help

That he gives to someone else

Yeah, he carries all the pain

Walks through fire, stands in rain

If love had a name, you’d know for sure

It’s the man who’s last one… through the door

One day someone’ll see his worth

Put him first like he did the world…

Yeah, the man who’s last one through the door…
