Bears Have Hearts - Memorial Day

Write it down and change your story
Go outside to face his glory
Oh I felt bold but the city's cold
So I'll run back home to you
The coldest year since we can remember
The bloodiest day since the 5th of November
When the city walls were about to fall
How we heard the call and pulled through
On Memorial day
We'll watch the grand parade
While the people cave
And the anthem played
While they filled the graves
With the souls who stayed
I wish I could run away
But that's not my task
I need to find my path
Oh the flag still waved
We watched the grand parade
The spirits strong but the flesh surrenders
All that's left are some glowing embers
That masquerade as the world we made
You know we've seen this game till it's through
Hear it loud it's the voice of confusion
And all our plights are just a bloody illusion
To instill control a game that's centuries old
So just keep being part of the troop
On Memorial day
We'll watch the grand parade
While the people cave
And the anthem played
While they filled the graves
With the souls who stayed
I wish I could run away
But that's not my task
I need to find my path
Oh the flag still waved
We watched the grand parade
The seas were calm but a tempest was brewing
The crew held fast teeth gnashed to push through it
Pleased to say goodnight
To every passerby
Who thought they heard the cry and truth
It feels absurd just to pick up the pieces
Of what was left when you left without reason
I can still recall
How we all stood tall
One by one to the wall where it's through
On Memorial day
We'll watch the grand parade
While the people cave
And the anthem played
While they filled the graves
With the souls who stayed
I wish I could run away
But that's not my task
I need to find my path
Oh the flag still waved
We watched the grand parade
On Memorial day
We'll watch the grand parade
While the people cave
Oh the flag still waved
At the grand parade
