Day by day
We have lost our edge
Don't you know?
Forgotten is the life we led
Now it seems
You don't care what the risk is
The peaceful times have made us blind
Can't look back
They will not come back
Can't be afraid
It's time after time
So once again
I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times have made us blind
So you can't fly if you never try
You told me, oh, long ago
But you left the Wall
Outside the gate
So more than ever, it's real
It was like a nightmare
And it's painful for me
'Cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day of grief
Now it's strange for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
Remember the day we met
And it's painful for me
'Cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day we dreamt
And it's painful for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
Song for reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength
Our life is so short
Song for reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you
From my heart
Song for the reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength
Our life is so short
Song for the reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you
Can't look back
They will not come back
Can't be afraid
It's time after time
So once again
I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times have made us blind
So you can't fly if you never try
You told me,,, Oh,Long ago
But you left the Wall
Outside the gate
So more than ever, It's real
It was like a nightmare
And it's painful for me
'Cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day of grief
And it's strange for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
Remember the day we met
And it's painful for me
'Cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day we dreamt
And it's painful for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
It was like a nightmare
And it's painful for me
'Cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day of grief
Now it's strange for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
Remember the day we met
And it's painful for me
'Cause nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day we dreamt
And it's painful for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice

It's time after time
Once again
I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times have made us blind
So you can't fly if you never try
You told me, oh, long ago
But you left the Wall
Out side the gate
So more than ever, it's real
It was like a nightmare
It's painful for me
Because nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day of grief
Now it's strange for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
Remember the day we met
It's painful for me
Because nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day we dreamt
It's painful for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice
Song for the reluctant heroes
Oh give me your strength
Our life is so short
Song for the reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you
