(Verse 1)

You were only thirteen, when you gave your life to war

You were only a child, when danger barged at your door

When you burned were sixteen

And your memory thrives

(Pre-chorus)

You didn't hold back, you fought great like bear

And you won the battle!

And you didn't hold back

You soared like an eagle!

(Chorus)

You were strong, you were brave and you mattered.

And you fought and you won, but you lost yourself in the end!

You were strong, you were brave and you mattered

To the very end!

Yeah, you mattered.

(Verse2)

You were only a babe, when you took down your first kill

You still cared for your T.V. dramas

But you had your own thrills

(Pre-chorus)

And you didn't hold back

You fought like a great bear

And you didn't hold back

You soar just like an eagle!

(Chorus)

You were brave, you were strong and you mattered!

And you fought and won, but you lost yourself in the end

You were brave, you were strong and you mattered

To the very, to the very end…

You fought own demons

(Bridge)

You came out of the fire

And caged the rat

Yeah, you were the rat…

(Chorus)

You were strong…

You were brave.

And you mattered, yes you mattered!

You were strong, you were brave and you mattered!

You had fought, you had died, and you were a warrior

You were brave you were strong and you mattered!

In the very end, in the end

You mattered.

You mattered…
