before you existed
before you were born
before we were taken
before we were torn

we were at peace
love all we knew
before we were taken away from you

before you could speak
before you could stress
before you were aware
of this terrible mess

we were at peace
love all we knew
until we were taken away from you

know we are far
know that we burn
know we are close
know we will return

we are alive
we will fight to the end
you will be free
you will be free soon again
