Lyrics

They were "over there"
Crawling through the mud
Never knowing quite why

When they came back home they
came back alone
to a world gone awry

We all counted the dead
from the living room floor
Never calling it war
and we'd never be the same

We had to go so far
Just to see who we are
And knew we?d never be the same

They looked back at us
Lost in total black
Spinning helplessly yon

And through the moonlit high
They watched the world go by
And with it Innocence gone

And we all flew to the stars
On the wings of a dove
Cause we had peace and love
And we?d never be the same.

We had to go so far
Just to see where we are
And knew we?d never be the same

Oh but here we stand, still
Counting the dead
Like grains of sand
As our highest dreams
Fall across the sky in flames

it seems clear to me
we may always be
forever more just the same

We may shoot for the stars
while we shoot at our hearts
and we may ever be the same

We may shoot for the stars
while we shoot at our hearts
and we may ever be the same
