Paragraph Lyric
Every step I take takes me farther from you
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you
Since you were a child we built our lives around you
How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you?

Sometimes late at night I go the field
Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?
Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

When you joined the war we were so proud of you
You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you
Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you
It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you

Sometimes late at night I go the field
Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?
Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean
And you will always be my little one

If I was the President, if I was that man
I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand
If I was the President, if I was that brave
I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave
If I was the President and my world turned black
I would want no victory, I'd just want you back

I don't want no victory, I just want you back
Every step I take takes me farther from you   Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you   Since you were a child we built our lives around you   How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you?      Sometimes late at night I go the field   Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?   Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?   Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?   It's right here, it's right here, it's right here      When you joined the war we were so proud of you   You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you   Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you   It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you      Sometimes late at night I go the field   Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?   Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?   Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?   It's right here, it's right here, it's right here      And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean   And you will always be my little one      If I was the President, if I was that man   I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand   If I was the President, if I was that brave   I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave   If I was the President and my world turned black   I would want no victory, I'd just want you back      I don't want no victory, I just want you back
