I wasn't born here sir, but yes I live here
|
Can you help me sir, I'm dying here
|
I come not for me, but for my brother
|
He's a teenage boy and yes, he's dying here
|
|
I came across the ocean,
|
Three long months I spent,
|
Every one of those days
|
Scratched into my arm
|
Now I come here for forgiveness
|
I come here to be free
|
I'm dying, yeah I'm dying, I'm dying
|
|
So I'll fight fire with fire,
|
And I'll take back the game,
|
And I'll grow up twisted and blank in a cage
|
I turn sixteen today
|
|
Listen to the spin, we're not being persecuted
|
Then you bomb our country to liberate the persecuted?
|
I wrote a letter just the other day
|
I got no reply so I thought I'd say
|
That I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying
|
|
I turn sixteen today.
|
|
Days on end
|
It's like I'm getting older
|
Bless me friend
|
It's like I'm growing colder
|
Days on end
|
I'm looking over my shoulder
|
Bless me friend
|
It's like I'm growing
|
I'm thirteen, I'm fourteen, I'm fifteen
|
|
I'm sixteen today
|
