| [00:15.19] |
It's been us, making it through all our lives |
| [00:20.83] |
And I |
| [00:22.47] |
Can't help but think of how cruel it would have been |
| [00:26.41] |
Without you by my side |
| [00:29.35] |
I can feel how we've changed |
| [00:32.53] |
I can feel who we've become |
| [00:36.02] |
How we're numb to the pain |
| [00:39.35] |
What we've seen and all we've done |
| [00:42.88] |
I'm on the floor letting no screams out |
| [00:48.46] |
Somehow, it doesn't hurt anymore. |
| [00:55.13] |
We grew close as children, |
| [00:57.42] |
Orphans under a roof |
| [01:00.42] |
And they spied on us |
| [01:01.96] |
We had stolen textbooks |
| [01:04.35] |
Hidden in our rooms |
| [01:07.14] |
We had had enough |
| [01:08.99] |
We ran for dreamland |
| [01:10.93] |
Down the rainy roads |
| [01:14.07] |
A man came to us |
| [01:15.71] |
In the night, he brought us home |
| [01:22.14] |
|
| [01:23.07] |
Soon, |
| [01:24.31] |
All of us were tucked in beds |
| [01:27.40] |
With new sheets |
| [01:29.64] |
And I, |
| [01:30.95] |
Sipped warm water as I listened to him speak |
| [01:36.47] |
"You beautiful children |
| [01:39.17] |
Are the war at it's worst |
| [01:43.05] |
You've been on the base all your lives. |
| [01:49.92] |
And me, well I run things here, you're safe by my side. |
| [01:56.70] |
I'm alone now, since I lost my wife." |
| [02:04.41] |
We saved his life, I'm sure of it |
| [02:07.39] |
Old and grey |
| [02:10.79] |
We gave him the love he lost |
| [02:12.08] |
And became his family |
| [02:17.17] |
He gave us our education |
| [02:19.90] |
We were thirsty for more |
| [02:24.09] |
And when the call came in we were all |
| [02:26.92] |
Taken off guard - |
| [02:32.60] |
"Yes, hello, Sergeant Rondaine |
| [02:35.99] |
Special Ops, America. |
| [02:39.32] |
Your teens have demonstrated |
| [02:42.71] |
Everything we could ever want." |
| [02:46.19] |
We're on the field killing a man now - |
| [02:51.58] |
How come it doesn't hurt anymore? |
