Sing to me
soft and light
a wish I may
a wish I might
I'll cash in this
wish tonight
I used to think
it was all vain
such atrocity
can't be tamed
nothing, pointless,
a waste of my time.
I'd never known
what it's really like
to be willing to make
such a sacrifice
I never could understand
how people did that.
To give yourself
so entirely,
without holding anything
back, completely
surrendering so others
could go on.
Such sentiment
was beyond my reach
and I never sought
to see
what was behind the meaning
of loyalty.
And only now
in my darkest hour
when the missiles fall
the bombs get louder
do I understand the truth
of what we're doing.
I was wrong,
everything I said
the world was simply
over my head
none of this is pointless,
hear me, nothing.
And after all
that I've been through
I realize the whole time
I was fighting for you
for every single soul
who gave me meaning.
I used to think I fought
to be free
to return home
where I could be
and to think all along
I was lying to me
Horrors, down it
with a bottle of booze
after all, what'd I
have to lose?
My innocence, my pride,
my hope, myself.
But now I know
deep down inside
for you, I'll throw
myself on the line
For you, I give myself to these mountains
for you, I surrender to the sea
for you I'll lay down here always
until the world caves in on me
For you, I witness all this terror
For you I'll endure every blow
Yes, I will rot down here forever
so that all of you can make it home.
So don't give up,
don't you ever give in
don't let horror
and hatred win
Because I was wrong
there is more to life
than living in resentment
and strife
I love every single one of you
more than I ever thought I could
and if I had to go to war again,
for all of you, I would.
