Not on earth, but here in my home, looking back
00:13:02.905 --> 00:13:03.505
But here in my home, looking back into the darkened room
00:13:03.572 --> 00:13:04.740
Looking back into the darkened room where my three--
00:13:04.807 --> 00:13:08.043
Into the darkened room where my three-- now deep inside themselves
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:09.278
Where my three-- now deep inside themselves with their dreams of tomorrow--
00:13:09.345 --> 00:13:12.081
Now deep inside themselves with their dreams of tomorrow-- lay silently sleeping,
00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:17.286
With their dreams of tomorrow-- lay silently sleeping, standing at the foot of the bed
00:13:17.353 --> 00:13:19.521
Lay silently sleeping, standing at the foot of the bed where a tiny round face
00:13:19.588 --> 00:13:21.724
Standing at the foot of the bed where a tiny round face surrounded by strands of long,
00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:23.492
Where a tiny round face surrounded by strands of long, brown hair,
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.060
Surrounded by strands of long, brown hair, little arm, tightly wrapped
00:13:25.127 --> 00:13:26.028
Brown hair, little arm, tightly wrapped around her favorite teddy bear,
00:13:26.095 --> 00:13:31.000
Little arm, tightly wrapped around her favorite teddy bear, is sleeping.
00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:33.302
Around her favorite teddy bear, is sleeping. and i'm wondering if those
00:13:33.369 --> 00:13:34.303
Is sleeping. and i'm wondering if those who have to pay for peace,
00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:36.071
And i'm wondering if those who have to pay for peace, ever know what it's for.
00:13:36.138 --> 00:13:39.174
Who have to pay for peace, ever know what it's for. knowing that some of them
