And I feel the light for the very first time Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive And I feel the light for the very first time Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive War, inside my mind Behind my eyes, is coming down And for the thousandth time I feel too numb to even mind Before I make the offering Remember all the faces that I've seen Now all the marks have settled on my skin From all the different places that I've been That I've been...
