I remember my childhood, my innocence Always laughing, discovering the world Maybe the happiest time of my life I remember my youth, changing everyday And so it begun, my journey through life... What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Maybe to make the world a better place Then life hit me for the first time I was in the cruellest war ever known I realized that I had a weapon in my hands And my best friend was among the enemy Where was my head Where was my heart Then I saw how my friend was sentenced to death He was blind, fooled and tied to a pole Then I could see how my gun took his life away When my fault was greater Than my desire to live I saw the moment of my own death With a rope around my neck And so my guilty soul Had lost the grace I need to find him again And leave the pain behind What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Maybe to make the world a better place Lost in another time and place I reached my friend's soul He's been waiting for so long To forgive my fault My soul is clean My mind is free My heart is opened
