lyrics

VERSE 1

12th December 1980
Arrived at this earth at a time so crazy,
Streets are painted, with blood & hatred
A civil war is what I'm facing

Instead of celebrating
Independence that we gained
We rather kill each other
Cause the greed we contain

People stay debating
Adding to the flame of self-hatred, so deeply engrained.

But mummy couldn't see a future here for me
Child Rebel Soldier wasn't what I was supposed to be.
And if safety is not found within your home
Then just maybe, it’s time for you to roam
So we barely took more than clothe on our back
Fled to Lisbon and never looked back

HOOK X2

One day we’ll see the light away from all the pain
We struggle in this life we pray for brighter days
We dream of peace at night away from all the pain
We struggle in this life we pray for brighter day

VERSE 2

Maybe I'm too small to understand how dad really feels,
Stress in his eyes but the pain he conceals
Waking up in cold chills Nightmares reveal
The violent scenes He has seen
Scarred by the screams of war torn victims hacked off limbs
Torn ligaments Shrapnel in the SKIN
Child Rebel Soldiers Murdering their next to kin

Damn this war that killed my people
Forced me to relocate to Lisbon
Here I am with no home to live in
Sleeping on a floor of an abandoned building.

No celebrations or toys to play with
I hate this place that mum had faith in
Is my life wasted? Potential taken
Or strength be gained through the trials I'm facing!

HOOK X2
One day we’ll see the light away from all the pain
We struggle in this life we pray for brighter days
We dream of peace at night away from all the pain
We struggle in this life we pray for brighter days

VERSE 3

Finally daddy got a new job
Mummy happy when we left that squat
Couple years later their marriage fell apart
Now fighting in the night Lord make it stop

I’m scared, confused, sat in silence
Traumatised by Domestic violence
Never thought Daddy would act like this
Beat mum so bad that he broke her nose bridge
I can't condone this Feeling hopeless
I'm barely 9
But already know the difference between wrong & right

My parents broke up and I'm all choked up far from grown up
And then one day He sat & told me
Mummy's staying but we’ll be going
Put me on a plane with clothe in a bag
We Flew to London and never came back.

HOOK X2

One day we’ll see the light away from all the pain
We struggle in this life we pray for brighter days
We dream of peace at night away from all the pain
We struggle in this life we pray for brighter days
