Back By

As kids we learn to love and pray 

But some can have it all stripped away 

War scares left on the bare skin 

Showing the world of our sin

But some can be helped to conserve

The ways we desperately try to preserve 

To re-learn the ways to love and pray 

And to have all our troubles come abay 

To break open that blurry outer case

To live happily in this dark place 

As adults we learn to hate and lie 

But some can have it all come back by
