[00:14.35]How long must she stand
[00:21.41]Before the ground, it gives way
[00:27.23]To an endless fall
[00:31.79]She can feel this
[00:33.74]War on her face
[00:37.65]The stars on her pillow
[00:41.52]She''''s folding in darkness
[00:44.40]Begging for slumber
[00:47.05]I''''m not blind
[00:50.61]I can see it coming
[00:55.92]Looks like lightning
[00:58.83]In my child''''s eye
[01:02.63]
[01:04.16]I''''m not frantic
[01:07.29]I can feel it coming
[01:11.95]Violently shakes
[01:15.11]My body
[01:17.80]
[01:22.99]Her son''''s slanted
[01:27.63]Always giving her
[01:30.08]The sideways eye
[01:33.54]The empty chair where dad sits
[01:38.49]How loud can silence get?
[01:44.28]And mom, she reassures
[01:47.70]To contain him
[01:50.28]But it''''s becoming a lie
[01:53.27]
[01:53.77]She tells herself
[01:55.97]And everyone else
[01:59.13]Father is risking
[02:01.49]His life for our freedoms
[02:04.11]I''''m not blind
[02:08.15]I can see it coming
[02:13.15]Looks like lightning
[02:16.90]In my child''''s eye
[02:19.78]
[02:21.44]I''''m not frantic
[02:24.24]I can feel it coming
[02:29.58]Darling you''''ll save me
[02:32.42]If you save yourself
