[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?
