I used to pretend to be a soldier when I played as a child
every stick was a gun, every rock a grenade or a mine
the stories were different, but with one thing in mind
at the end of the battle, I would pretend that I died
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGb6xCwbCj
When I was lying on the forest floor
listening to birds, feeling the bugs crawl
that's when I knew and I realized
when death will come, I will not hide
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQm3OPCDW
I used to pretend to be a soldier, not to picture myself strong
neither being reliable, nor a hero that saves the land
neither being admirable, nor a brother to the end
but because when they die, they do belong
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoyZFtkEjb
Belong with the others, becoming a number
nobody remembering their name, nor their blunder
because when "3 had died" it's an information
but "Martin, Danny and Peter" had reached salvation
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQdvqvPi9a
That part of my life is over, never to repeat
I will never become a soldier, like I wanted to be
Nevertheless anyone out there, wearing a uniform
I might not know your name, but I'm glad, that you were born
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWOwwqJF4p
And among the others, who lost their lives in fight
in a line of duty, while on guard through the night
I don't know your names, and you don't know mine
but for every "casualty", I'll give you a minute of my time.
