Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Heaven and Earth, I've never moved so fast
You'll never know the fear your mama has
[Verse 2]
I know your father can't call anymore
He never meant to be a man of war
But we found freedom, what will you do now?
Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
[Verse 3]
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Why would I bother to remember when
Our people, baby, die and live again
[Verse 4]
Look at this one
I want you to see
Fashion was high
My hair was so long
This was maybe '73
[Verse 5]
You know, I have been adored by good and kind men
They send their love with poetry
By day, I gave grand speeches
At night, like you
We danced to be free
[Verse 6]
I lost my city in the prime of my time
Mud, silk, and the dust of life
I was a diamond of the embassy
It doesn't matter what I meant to be
[Verse 7]
Girl, you come from the fortunate ones
Gold, sky, and a first born son
We don't have words for the way you have grown
We'll always feed you, you can always come home
[Verse 8]
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?)
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?)
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?)
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?)
[Verse 9]
I don't want to say anymore
But I have been here before
I don't want to say anymore
Find what you need
I don't want to say anymore
But I have been here before
I have earned this sorrow
Mine to keep
[Verse 10]
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Why would I bother to remember when
Our people, baby, die and live again
[Verse 11]
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Heaven and Earth, I've never moved so fast
You'll never know the fear your mama has
[Verse 12]
I know your father can't call anymore
He never meant to be a man of war
But we found freedom, what will you do now?
Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
