Mars

[00:31.53] We laid our names to rest
[00:36.92] Along the dotted line
[00:41.01]
[00:44.43] We left our date of birth
[00:49.21] And our history behind
[00:52.34] We were full of life
[00:55.38] We could barely hold it in
[00:58.20] We were amateurs at war
[01:01.48] Strangers to suffering
[01:04.78] We made our families proud
[01:07.85] But scared at the same time
[01:10.74] We promised we'd be safe
[01:13.79] Another lie from the front lines
[01:16.84] Our backs against the wall
[01:19.91] We're surrounded and afraid
[01:23.19] Our lives now in the hands
[01:26.25] Of the soldiers taking aim
[01:29.12] Our questions ricochet
[01:32.42] Like broken satellites
[01:35.44] How our bodies, born to heal
[01:38.88] Become so prone to die?
[01:43.94]
[01:52.64] Though time is ruthless
[01:56.58] It showed us kindness in the end
[02:00.14] (By slowing down enough)
[02:02.94] (A second chance to make amends)
[02:06.09] As life replayed, we heard a voice proclaim
[02:13.09] "Lay your weapons down
[02:15.75] They're calling off the war
[02:18.94] On account of losing track
[02:22.01] Of what we're fighting for"
[02:25.13] So we found our way back home
[02:28.06] Let our cuts and bruises heal
[02:31.05] While a brand-new war began
[02:34.35] One that no one else could feel
[02:37.50] Our nights have grown so long
[02:40.67] Now we beg for sound advice
[02:43.71] "Let the brokenness be felt
[02:46.59] 'Til you reach the other side
[02:49.86] There is goodness in the heart
[02:52.78] Of every broken man
[02:55.97] Who comes right up to the edge
[02:59.02] Of losing everything he has"
[03:02.02] (Losing everything he has)
[03:05.17] (Losing everything he has)
[03:08.16] We were young enough to sign
[03:11.64] Along the dotted line
[03:14.76] (To build a better life)
[03:17.81] (To build a better life)
[03:20.76] Now we're young enough to try
[03:24.08] To build a better life
[03:30.16] To build a better life
[03:31.34]
