Disclaimer: Even though there's no direct mention, we all know this is about Gundam pilots and unfortunately I don't own them.
AN: This is about any of the boys, all of the boys, and let it suit your own needs - see what you think.
A Long Time Getting There
I see this imagery
Hanging loosely all around you
The world falls down in broken shards
He still holds his gun
Dangling from loose fingers
And he knows that someday -
He won't want to do this anymore
He says,
"I know someday I'll get there
I know someday will come
But I know they'll never break me
And I know I can never give in
Someday I'll be human -
I'll just be a long time getting there."
They were all of them abandoned at birth
Given up to this higher cause
They are the children of the god of war
But this generation will not rest silent
They lost their childhood as they closed their eyes
Opened them and saw this world
They took it in the way it was
And they wouldn't stand for that
They're all so human
Bodies mortal and torn
Fragile minds forced strong set to their task
They'll all find love -
They'll all find peace
They'll just be a long time getting there
He'll find his justice
His solace -
His peace
His laughter will live
And the mask will fall away
And they'll each find their place
Abandon this war
Step into the light
Of an even higher world
He says,
"I know someday I'll get there
I know someday will come
I know they'll never break me
And I know I can never give in
Someday I'll be human -
Someday I'll be whole
Someday I'll be real
I'll just be a long time getting there."
