A Moment Tells

And though I’m still here standing
others fall in my sight
And though I’m still here standing
my emotions run high
Going back to the days of summer skies,
this boys’ fight is not my fault this time
I can see the fire, there’s a missile coming around
A moment tells a future, do tell
A moment sends a boy home cold
A moment lets you know if there’s tomorrow for children of war
A moment for a soul’s redemption is all
The situation is one bombastic nation ticked off
it’s not my design, but I’m in the fight this time, and all that I can say is that I hope I make it home
So tell me, tell me Moment, am I the target tonight?
Foes and friends, this fire burning us all
In a moment I could loose my hope
In a moment I could be sent home
In a moment someone else decides my fate
Caught in a rain of strife
Caught in the rage of shame
Caught in the wrong battle
Caught in an angry world
