small thing - barton carroll lyrics

[verse]
listen to me, son
and i’ll tell you i was a girl in berlin
you still seem young
but i’ll tell you how the russians came in
we were like sisters
mother and i
she was the older
crazed and resigned
i was the younger
naive enough to survive
some of us got children, some of us got sick
we were at the mercy of the enemies

[verse]
the first pack of broken dogs to chew through the frozen wall of stalingrad
drone through thе fatherland, silent and insane
thе next pack were green
and raged like a flood
closing in on my berlin
and the smell of blood

[bridge]
holding me down
facing the light
i laid on my back with all my might
lord god, let the walls melt into the door
let my skin grow o’er and heal my sore
[verse]
i heard that our brothers and our fathers did the same on their side
i heard that all brothers and all fathers do the same during wartime
i was a child
i was on the wrong side
i was broken in by broken men with drainin’ eyes
war sleeps deep in a man
long after guns are gone
he loses care for small things
and i, i was a small thing
