This place is my home
This place is my comfort
This place has my soul
This place is where it all starts
But lately I feel like we’ve lost our common ideals
And I’m fantasising about others who share my beliefs
It’s like growing up to find out your heroes aren’t what they said they were
They just make excuses and then tell us that they never meant for us to get hurt
And I’m starting to think that maybe we were never on the same page
Because as far as I can remember you’ve been like this for all of my long days
And all those who fought for a better tomorrow
Have been let down again by the beg, steal and borrow
And all those who battled, and all those who died
Their memories besmirched by the ones left behind
And everything that those people put on the line
To stand for their families, to define their times
Has been twisted and broken until it is beyond a crime
But I will not be the one to leave this time
Because this place is my home
This place is my comfort
This place has my soul
This place is where it all starts
And this fight deserves everything I’ve got.
