Redemption: 1 (an Army Man And His Self-discovery)

We built a wall

Standing there, so big and tall

Keeping us

From the rust of what's hurting us all

To feel a spark

Of hope in the dark, no matter what the cost

To know that nothing

Ever will be completely lost

I'm at the wall

Staring, looking up at the names

Mistakes we've made

Broken families, no, these aren't just little games

Hand the torch

To the man who is looking for his blood

The warmth of searching

For the blood just might be enough

I am stable, I am breakable

I am boarded up and begging you

I am hoping, I am coping

It is storming out here

I am broken, I am stolen

I am chained up and begging you

I am bolder, I am older

I am just a brother, babe

I am spinning, I am hitting

I am loved but not gone

I am open, it is pouring in

Gonna make you love him more than you even can

The kid says mia, I say my-a

They freed us, no matter what I say

I am older, I am bolder

I am just a sister, babe

I am older, I am bolder

I am just a mother, babe

I am older, I am bolder

I am just a father, babe
