Partisan Code - Remembrance

When I was younger I had dreamed I'd be a hero too
Serve my country, serve my life just like my father did
Find a wife and settle down, two kids, a nice brick home
Simple dreams, a simple life at least I thought so

I knew a man who went to fight
And left behind his kids and wife
All to save a strangers life
No not for pride but you and I
But will we remember him?

Years later I stand a proud, serving soldier
In arms we struggle, tired, we fight undeterred
Tonight I feel that I would die here all alone
And tell my family "I'm sorry, I'm not coming home"

I knew a man who went to fight
And left behind his kids and wife
All to save a strangers life
No not for pride but you and
I Needs no medal to prove he
Would give his life for you and me
But will we remember him?

Give us the night, give us the day
They take it away, take it away
They leave us our lives, leave us your pain
Why can't we feel it?

Give us the night, give us the day
They take it away, take it away
They leave us our lives, leave us your pain
Why can't we feel it?

Give us the night, give us the day
They take it away, take it away
They leave us our lives, leave us your pain
Why can't we feel it?

Why can't we feel?
Why can't we feel?
Why can't we?
Why can't we?
Why can't we?

Why can't we feel?
Why can't we feel?
Why can't we?
Why can't we?
Why can't we?
