[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? |
