Brave Little Soldier Lyrics

Where is she?

Talk to me, I need some help

Where are you mum?

Five minutes away, I'm coming

Over and out

I've only got five minutes to explain this feeling before it eats me up

So we're gonna go quickly

I don't trust them

You can't trust them

They're taking me away

Why should I trust them?

They've got the keys

They'll lock me in

They'll never ever ever let me leave

They're grabbing my arms

They're pulling me in

Even though we're all saying no

The screams are echoing

It's time to fly the feet through the air

It's the only defence I've got left

They need to walk away

They're not sharing

Back down those blue streets of gloom

Back to that room

With the kitchen and their so-called friends

Then my legs go into action

I'm not staying any longer

I can see the bearded guy unlocking the big metal gates

They've held us here for so long

It's another six hours gone

A few hours escape, then it's time to come back again

Sleep brave little soldier

In a few years, it might just be okay

It's rising again

Eat your cereal, put your red jumper on

Leave the house, you need to head up the street

Back through the gates that have held you here for such a long time

Back in by your feet, wriggle those arms

They can't keep your forever

They can accuse you, but you know none of it's true

Make some noise

Have I explained well?

Good, good

We don't have long left now, so we're gonna go faster

The music plays

We sit down for the announcements of the day

We're not climbing mountains, they're all too low

Walking through, dancing to the tunes that remind us of that place

It's never gonna stop haunting our brain

But we can embrace it

We're writing a tune

A song

We can't sing, so that can't be it

Needs to be eerier

Needs to get those little demons out of our brains

It's pushing our buttons every day

Needs to get those little demons out of our brains

Take them away

Take them away

Don't leave them here

Take them away

If they stay much longer, it's gonna explode

And they can't stay, take them away

So we've written this

We've put the feelings down in words

And so many little characters

So many people to get back at

Push out the demons

Thank the people who've helped us along the way

Everyone else who dealt with this

Everyone else who was locked behind those big metal gates

That haunt our dreams

Thank you for coming here

Thank you for listening

I can hear the footsteps

My time with you is done

Until next time

Relax
