Tripling the idea of a better life
These hungry soldiers bite down at their last
Hopeful wish of being somewhere else.
Being someone else as an escape from prison
The desperation is the benign solution to their
Endless equation.
Being a temper tantrum
Would you calm down any?
Or would you spout off a bit of remorse
For your one and only reason?
Doubling their chances for survival
These desperate soldiers pull the pin of their last
Grenade, they throw into the fray
Trying something new, something discovered
Something recovered from the smoldering piles
They are devoured.
Being a last bit of hope
Would you stand still?
Or would you run a play by play
For your one and only reason?
Singling out the only reasonable result
These fragile soldiers pick up their last
Bit of strength to carry on
Becoming free and knowing things
And following, hoping, and wishing for dreams
Their only means to live
Being the only thing you've ever wanted
Would you close yourself up tight?
Or would you yell and laugh and sing
For your one and only reason?
