This Ground Still Cries
That was my field!
That was my line!
That open space!
That's where I died
I remember their faces
I remember their cries
I remember how we joked together
I remember trying to save their lives
That was the church field
That was the safe line
That's where they came from nowhere
That's where we fought for our lives
This field remembers
That space in time
This grass grows different
This ground still cries
The memory is so present
The memory is so real
The gunfire and explosions
I can hear them, I can see!
That was my field
That was once me.
