Every step I take
Takes me farther from you
Every move I make
Reminds me that I’ll always love you

Since you were a child
We’ve built our lives around you
Now how am I supposed to live?
In this world we made without you

(Chorus)
Sometimes late at night
I go to the field
Is that where you are?
Are you a shooting star?
Can you say my name?
Darling can you hear me?
Tell me where’s your heart?
Now that it’s stopped beating
It’s right here
It’s right here
It’s right here

When you joined the war
We were so proud of you
You seem so grown up
Livin’ life the way we taught you

Then your first letter came
It sounded nothin’ like you
It took all my strength
To keep myself from runnin’ to you

(Chorus)

And it will always be
Until the sun dries the ocean
And you will always be
My little one

If I was the president
If I was that man
I would walk out with those kids out across the sand
If I was the president
If I was that brave
I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave
If I was the president
If (my world) turned black
I would want no victory
I’d just want you back
I don’t want no victory
I just want you back (4x)

(Chorus)

It’s right here (12x)

(And it will always be)
