[00:10.71]Today you don’t have to be a soldier
[00:14.41]Don’t have to be a soldier, stand down
[00:18.68]It’s okay to be as you were
[00:22.80]Be as you were again
[00:28.15]Is it a scheme, is it a vision
[00:29.55]Is it a dream, is it a nightmare
[00:31.85]Or is it a competition and if it is
[00:35.05]What if we don’t fight fair?
[00:36.58]What’s bald in the morning
[00:38.52]But in the evening has white hairs?
[00:40.92]What’s the cause of global warming
[00:42.73]And could it be these things right here?
[00:45.28]I got an idea that might not reach
[00:47.83]Anyone for another light year
[00:49.10]Got a hit-list and a cloud of
[00:51.62]Witnesses which is pricier
[00:53.93]Well, my tears are mightier
[00:56.18]Than my fears so mighty Earth
[00:58.67]Provides me hurt that I keep buried
[01:00.95]Until I convert it to writing
[01:02.89]I was wounded, I was injured
[01:05.23]I was made to move to Denver
[01:07.27]I was taken through a new adventure
[01:09.66]Paint stripped from it’s first fixture
[01:11.75]I was placed in another picture
[01:14.13]I was rushed to a new landscape
[01:16.55]And ripped away from family
[01:18.34]Scraped into a politician’s mistake
[01:20.60]And what’s left of talents in chests beneath oceans
[01:24.76]Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
[01:29.37]A world of emotions, a guess that it might be okay
[01:34.91]That it could be all right if expressed
[01:38.18]Today you don’t have to be a soldier
[01:42.35]Don’t have to be a soldier, stand down
[01:46.21]It’s okay to be as you were
[01:50.93]Be as you were again
[01:55.71]Am I a woman raised man-machine
[01:57.97]Damaging everything I touch?
[02:00.99]By not caring enough
[02:03.19]Or too much?
[02:04.19]Am I far flung fantasy
[02:06.72]Setting free enmity?
[02:08.83]And making friends from enemies
[02:10.88]And bridges for the in-betweens
[02:13.05]For the highwayman on the low road
[02:15.24]The tired back with a large load
[02:17.41]The trials spanned till I found hope
[02:19.79]And I found more when I slo-mo’ed
[02:21.93]Enough of the back to face front
[02:23.98]Let those in the pack of the race run
[02:26.15]I’m needing an evener pace one
[02:28.32]Too hasty makes mistakes
[02:30.51]Can you carry a song as strong as your arms
[02:36.22]Can bear that you keep from harm?
[02:39.49]And it will be there when you go wrong
[02:43.97]Make a heart from your bond, your treasure’s right here
[02:48.45]And what’s left of talents in chests beneath oceans
[02:52.54]Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
[02:56.81]A world of emotions, a guess that it might be okay
[03:02.55]That it could be all right if expressed today
[03:07.60]Today you don’t have to be a soldier
[03:27.88]Don’t have to be a soldier, stand down
[03:32.26]It’s okay to be as you were
[03:36.38]Be as you were again
[03:41.14]Today you don’t have to be a soldier
[03:45.38]Don’t have to be a soldier, stand down
[03:49.52]It’s okay to be as you were
[03:54.25]Be as you were again
