Back home, where the roses grew,
A child is missing from the place,
Back home, where the roses grew,
Not a gunshot keeping you awake,
But here, amongst the death,
Its odour a breath of decay,
Yes here, amongst the dying,
The child lay breathless in wait.

Not here, an inch from the enemy,
Does a rose so much as blossom,
Not here, an inch from the enemy,
Does anyone get a moments peace,
But here, amongst the death,
Inside a child does grow,
Yes here, amongst the dying,
Grows fear, determination and hope.

The pain of losing you, is still wanting you near.

But your still gone...and I'm still here
