I heard a million stories
Of what I did today
But I couldn't feel the glory

As I carried him away

No I'm not crying,

Just burning inside
I won't stop trying
To stay alive

At least for a while...

I'm a brave young boy,

I'm the nation's toy
And I'm working hard
In the far backyard

Now I am nowhere
'Cause they sent me here
I don't know if I'm going to stay...


Was afraid of dying
But now it's all the same

I might be escapin'
Or I might feed the flame
But I'll remember

The scene of the crime
Until the angels
Knock on my door

And tell me the score...

I'm a brave young boy,

I'm the nation's toy
And I'm working hard
In the far backyard

Now I am nowhere
'Cause they sent me here
I don't know if I'm going to stay...


If I don't go insane
Don't know who I should blame

Think I've gone all the way,
No one left to betray
So I don't know if I'm going to stay
