| [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? |
