All Too Real

[Verse 1]
Calling out to everyone
The wait is over
There’s no surprise that we’re all
Much, much older
The hardest part is growing up
You’re never really good enough
And now it’s time
To be a soldier

[Chorus 1]
I know I’m not that special
(Not that special)
Everyone grows up some day
(Day)
But now it’s all become too real

[Verse 2]
To learn to love, to give your hand
It seems so simple
To turn away, to shut us up
Is hateful
The war gets won by showing up
Your good intention’s not enough
Come with me
Let’s go be soldiers

[Chorus 2]
I know I’m not that special
(Not that special)
Everyone grows up some day
(Day)
But now it’s all become too real

[Verse 3]
Now and then when I look back
On everything I loved and wasted
It’s easy to regret
Being held down
But since we’re here with cuts and scars
It’s nice to know how proud we are
That we’re still here
As soldiers

[Chorus 3]
I know I’m not that special
(Not that special)
Everyone grows up some day
(Day)
But now it’s all become too real

[Chorus 4]
I know I’m not that special
(Not that special)
Everyone grows up some day
(Day)
But now it’s all become too real

[Outro]
Calling out to everyone
