Let's get straight to it.

 Frontline Child

Out where rivers bleed.

The earth bends to its knees.

And the time comes.

To burn your name.

And show your game.

Save your prayers.

Hide them yet say them well.

Your time has come.

The pain has come.

And the earth moves once more.

Frontline child.

How do you sleep with this burden.

Frontline child.

You walk on broken glass.

Frontline child.

You shouldn't be in this war.

So full of innocence.

Gone in a flash.

Domino dancing.

You fall to your knees,

And start to tear and cry.

Frontline child.

How do you sleep with this burden.

Frontline child.

You walk on broken glass.

Frontline child. 

You shouldn't be in this war.

How do you sleep with this burden.

How do you sleep with this burden.

The safest times, 

Are the most painful times.

You walk on broken glass.

You're in a war. 

The escape to freedom.

Never seems near.

You boil up.

Release your steam.

It isn't enough,

To keep you from breaking.

Frontline child.

How do you sleep with this burden.

Frontline child.

You walk on broken glass.

Frontline child.

You shouldn't be in this war.

How do you sleep with this burden.

How do you sleep with this burden.

The safest times,

Are the most painful times.

You walk on broken glass.

You're in a war.

Frontline child.

Frontline child. 

You walk on broken glass.

Frontline child.

You shouldn't be in this war.

Full of innocence.

Gone in a flash.

Domino dancing.

You fall to your knees

And start to tear and cry.

This war is heavy

On your heart

That you hold.

Save your prayers

And use them well.
