Suffocating silence
A river of gold
Lost childhood memories
Of a boy sixteen years old

A soldier
A fighter
A symbol to see
All of those things
that he'd never be

I quiet and caring
Compassionate man
From what once was a soldier
With a gun in his hand.

A Gundam
A robot
To save the life
he once had
If only he'd seen
That smile from his dad

To see all his life
In the wink of an eye
Trowa Barton laid down
and died

He never remembered
The years before war
The happiness and family
He had wished to restore

His colleagues reminisced of
His kindness and strength
And the way that he thought
How most wise men think

A world without laughter
A world without joy
Of the life once owned
By a sixteen year old boy
