Why did this happen,
To such a beautiful and gentle young soul...
He pressed his lips against home soil,
then kissed his lover, and cradled his gun...
Selcouth love concealed,
garishly as can be...
At eighteen years of age,
Defining all the adversities...
To Be With You,
Just to be with you...
Far away, miles apart; Smiles within our hearts.
From a distance shadows appear...
Pondering amidst a colossal crowd,
wondering within a jostle sound...
At eighteen years of age
Contemplating the possibilities...
At eighteen years of age
Contemplating the possibilities...
Distant Heavens arise,
Vivid blue skies shine...
At eighteen years of age,
Contemplating the possibilities...
Here I am all alone,
Wishing on a star...
