a protest piece ... about how boys fare in war zones
lyrics
PEGASUS
Vs 1
My name is Pegasus
This is my odyssey
Name of a Greek horse
But I am a hadji
It didn’t start like this
I was just a youth
Bein’ helpful and kind
Runnin’ favours for the man
He was my Zeuss
He helped me to survive
Chorus
I am a brother in arms
Out on the front line
I am a brother in arms
Fighting a war that aint mine
Rep
Vs 2
They named me Broken Wing
You know my history
Proud of my Shawnee name
But my people ain’t free
Once we carried
The thunderbolts of heaven
We were sentient and live
Once we ran
With the braves in the crossfire
White man cain’t handle that jive
Chorus 2
I am a brother in arms
Out on the front line
I am a brother in arms
Fighting a war that ain’t mine
Rep
Mid 8
But when I am still
You can smell my sweat
See my fragile heart
Beat at the fine bones
Under my skin
That carry me on
Thru this star filled night
Chorus 2
I am a brother in arms
Out on the front line
I am a brother in arms
Fighting a war that ain’t mine
Vs 3 (half – verse)
My name is young man
An’ I don’t fit in
An’ this ain’t your land
An’ I ain’t your kin
