Wall Guard

I grew up at a place where war is just a part of life
And I remember my mama's face as she led me to the shelter room
I didn't understand why the adults were so afraid
I was just focused on the world inside my head
We waited till the sirens stopped
When I was eighteen
I set to war on a ship that's made of steel
And I remember how the older men were staring at the screens
Looking for some news
I thought I understood
I thought I understood

But only then
We looked at land I understood why
Cause only then I saw them fly like
Fireworks in the sky
Cause only then
We looked at land I understood why
Cause I saw them fly like
Fireworks in the sky
Fireworks in the sky

I remember when I first heard someone wish they all just died
I didn't understand how someone can wish death on someone else's child

When the TV said there was another dead
I saw the look on their faces I understood how
Hate can make people die

But only then we looked at land
I understood why
Cause only then I saw them fly like
Fireworks in the sky
Cause only then I saw them fly like
Fireworks in the sky
Fireworks in the sky

Fireworks in the sky
Fireworks we watched them fly
