The Soldier's Mark
I board the train tonight
To run from the man
Who pens all these years of my life
To make us wise
I was convinced I was not innocent
til tonight
When the truth with the flare and the scales
That were pinned to my eyes
And wrung them try
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now that I'm here
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now cause I'm scared
And no I don't want to grow up
and take on a world that is
so much bigger than I had ever known
I'm just a child
I killed a man tonight
Was my first time in battle
For a country that asked me to fight
So I'll fight
I can not shake from my brain what I saw in his eyes
In the moments I scoped out the shots that would finish his life
My soul died
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now that I'm here
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now cause I'm scared.
And no I don't want to grow up
and take on a world that is
so much bigger than I
had ever known
I'm just a child
I'm just a kid
No I don't wanna grow up fast
I just wanna keep my shades on
I'm just a kid
No I don't wanna grow up fast
I just wanna keep my shades on
I'm just a kid
And I don't wanna drive your guns
But I believe in saving freedom
I'm just a kid
But now I have to grow up fast
So let's hit play and save the children
the children from this
To run from the man
Who pens all these years of my life
To make us wise
I was convinced I was not innocent
til tonight
When the truth with the flare and the scales
That were pinned to my eyes
And wrung them try
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now that I'm here
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now cause I'm scared
And no I don't want to grow up
and take on a world that is
so much bigger than I had ever known
I'm just a child
I killed a man tonight
Was my first time in battle
For a country that asked me to fight
So I'll fight
I can not shake from my brain what I saw in his eyes
In the moments I scoped out the shots that would finish his life
My soul died
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now that I'm here
Would someone please hit the pause button?
Please hit the pause button
Now cause I'm scared.
And no I don't want to grow up
and take on a world that is
so much bigger than I
had ever known
I'm just a child
I'm just a kid
No I don't wanna grow up fast
I just wanna keep my shades on
I'm just a kid
No I don't wanna grow up fast
I just wanna keep my shades on
I'm just a kid
And I don't wanna drive your guns
But I believe in saving freedom
I'm just a kid
But now I have to grow up fast
So let's hit play and save the children
the children from this
