GmWe laid our Cmnames to rGmest
Along the dotted lDine. Cm
GmWe left our date of birth
And our history Cmbehind.
CmWe were full of Dlife,
We could barely Fhold it Gmin.
We were amateursF at war,
Strangers to sufCmfering.
We made our Gmfamilies Dproud
But scared at the same tGmime.
We promised we'd bFe safe,
Another lie from the froCmnt lines.
Our Dbacks against the wall,
We're surroundeGmd and afraid.
Our lives now in the hanFds
Of the soldiers Cmtaking aim.
Our qDuestions ricochet
Like broken sateGmllites:
How our bodies, born to Fheal,
Become so prone to dGmie?
Cm
GmThough time is ruthless,
It showed us kindness in the eCmnd,
(By slowing down enough,)
(A second chance to make amends.)
GmAs life replayed, we Cmheard a voice proclaim: D
"lay Cmyour weapons dDown!
They're callinGmg off the war
On account of losing traFck
Of what we're fightingCm for."
So we found our way back hoDme,
Let our cuts and bruCmises hGmeal.
While a brand-new war beFgan,
One that no one else could fCmeel.
Our nights have grown so loDng.
Now we beg for sound aGmdvice.
"let the brokenness be fFelt
'til you reach the other sCmide.
There is goDodness in the heart
Of every brGmoken man
Who comes right up to the edge F
Of losing everything he Cmhas."
(Losing Gmeverything he Dhas)
(Losing everytGmhing he has)
We were young enough to Fsign
Along the dotted lineD.
(To build a better life)
(To build a better lGmife)
Now we're young enoughF to try
To build a better lGmife.
CmTo build a better lGmife.
