(00:00:21) Verse I.

From five, six, seven, had to open up my eyes
Would mommy go to heaven or for me stay alive?
Everyday there'd be a war that we couldn't stop
Had to let the bullets run and let the bodies drop

See I never knew why love speared them like it did
Brought them down to their knees, like I never knew it could
When daddy threw a punch and momma struck back
I would sit and cower wondering why love did that

Why they fought made them hate, and made them cry,
Make them fight into the hours of night
Would they even stay alive ?
Cause a fire is burning and none of them have seen
The flames that are burning through my sister and me

I ain't gotta bad but back then it seemed hard
Its like living in a shell that's about to ignite
And you can smell the tension like smoke from a fire
But there is no exit, no one is escaping

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(00:01:05) Chorus.
We're all in this together
Through thick and thin, through the stormiest weather
We gotta stand by those we love and treasure
But I didn't sign for, I never enrolled for
This disaster

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a young child you see, it didn't appear to me
That the love they had, was long gone history
I just looked on, like a viewer in the street
Mind hooked cowardly, all due to disbelief

Cause at nine, ten, eleven, I opened up my eyes, and saw to make it better
They couldn't be apart but keeping them together
Would only end in injury, only end in misery

And I struggled to hold together
I'd cry like she did, and it never felt better
I can't though stand by one or other
Cause they both were suited, just as bad as each other

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(00:02:11) Chorus.
We're all in this together
Through thick and thin, through the stormiest weather
We gotta stand by those we love and treasure
But I didn't sign for, I never enrolled for
This disaster

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And this is my life ...
Only ever brought me strength...
