Hey
As long as you smile by my side
That’s enough for me
So please, lower your arm
For just how long
Have you been protecting?
It’s only now I’ve noticed
I’m sorry
I can’t apologize
Children cry
For their parents
Just how far will we go before we make it?
Is this the freedom you spoke of?
When my scars ache and my friends’ faces come to mind
Then I wonder if I’ll be able to say
That the flowers blooming in a brand-new land are beautiful
Hey
If the words you once chose were wrong
Then I wonder
If the future would change
I’m the only one who understands you
With nothing more than that thought
I could live strong
I’m sorry,
I want to forgive you
But with things like this
I know I’ll end up alone
Just how far will we go before we’re connected?
Your heart is so far in the distance
Just how far will we go before we make it?
Is this the freedom you spoke of?
When my scars ache and my friends’ faces come to mind
Then I wonder if I have the right to say
That the flowers blooming in a brand-new land are beautiful
I won’t be able to smile
Until that brand-new land overflows with life once more
