I was seven years old when I watched the world fall down

I can't remember but I like the way it sounds

 I never realized that kids like me grow up in war 

so I thought my life was hard until you told me yours

 and if the sky should fall and break you up  while it hits the ground 

you wont ever let life go 

wont ever let you go, 

just follow the lights home  

 

My father sings to me,

 tucks me in at night.

 Your father died for you so you could stay alive

 and I'm so scared to say that we're the same in every way except one

 I was born in peace and you under the gun.

 and if the sky should fall and break you up  while it hits the ground 

you wont ever let life go

 wont ever let you go, 

just follow the lights home  



And a child of seven years should never have to see

their world come crashing down to wither at their feet.

  And me and my self centered little world cannot comprehend  the truth 

that I cant live through what you have

 and I could have been you. 

and if the sky should fall and break you up  while it hits the ground 

you won't ever let life go 

wont ever let you go,

 just follow the lights home  



And if the sky should fall and break you up  while it hits the ground 

you wont ever let life go

 wont ever let you go, 

just follow the lights home
