Dick, Jason, Tim, to Bruce:
We'll tell you everything that happened
Tell you everything we saw
We had lights inside our eyes
We had lights inside our eyes
We know you watched us as we left you
We won't say it's not your fault
We moved forward and your heart died
We moved forward, our hearts beat on
Do you remember what we looked like
We were never scared of you
We were kids that you once knew
We were kids that you once knew
When we say it will you please believe us
And if you lie just know you won't deceive us
It's hard surviving out there
It's hard to know if you still care
We can say it but you won't believe us
You say you do but you don't deceive us
Brave hearts are everywhere
Brave hearts are everywhere
Dick:
Do you remember how it happened
How it was that you met me
I had light inside my eyes
I had light inside my eyes
You've hurt me and I have hurt you
When I've ran away from you
I'm not the kid that you once knew
I'm not the kid that you once knew
You're afraid now that you broke me
But that's not how life has to work
We'll move on to find new light
We'll move on to find new light
Tim:
You seldom touched me, seldom held me
But you walked with me with pride
You made me feel I'm standing tall
You made me feel I'm standing tall
I was young and you amazed me
I was young and you weren't real
There was light inside my eyes
There was light inside my eyes
Maybe now I see too clearly
Now I've learned the dark is real
But I'm still the kid you knew
Still the kid that you once knew
Jason:
Do you hear the distant rumble
Do you see the flames at night?
I'm ablaze with burning light
I'm ablaze with burning light
You have held me when I'm broken
And you've brought me so much harm
I'm a kid that you once knew
I'm a kid that you once knew
I have soared, and I have fallen
But there's one thing that won't change
You put light inside my eyes, Dad
You put light inside my eyes.
All:
Please believe us now as we tell you
And you know that we won't deceive you
It's hard surviving out there
But we will 'cause we know that you still care
When we say it will you please, please listen
This time for once would you just listen
Strong hearts are everywhere
Strong hearts are everywhere
