A mother she packs No time for her hat Signs she can't ignore Small hand tight in tow The sirens hum low Near bombs rumble and soar No bags on her back Just memories packed She'll carry the weight on her wings She'll leave her home To a land of unknown For freedom is all she will bring The old man has survived The darkest of times When dignity couldn't be bought Rain brings him tears An abundance of fears Once again, just left to be shot No bags on his back Just memories packed He'll carry the weight of the sting He'll leave his home Twice journeyed, unknown For freedom is what he will dream A young man must report To his station up north Where he will protect and defend His country attacked Will his family come back To bury what's left in the end Guns on his back The memories he's packed He'll carry the weight like a king Losing his home In war dying alone While the world just watches and screams But like times in past Hate always comes back But falls in spite of its weight Lives will be lost In vain, senseless costs But hope will carry the weight
