you&#039;re only as tall <br /> as your heart will let you be <br /> and you&#039;re only as small <br /> as the world will make you seem <br /> and when the going gets rough <br /> and you feel like you may fall <br /> just look on the bright side <br /> your roughly six feet tall

and as i walk out on the battle field
the flames grow higher
but they burn away the pain
they burn away the good
memories are gone
friends are gone
it's you against the world
do you fight?
or do you hide?
do you scream?
or do you shout?
everything you ever knew is gone.
gone forever.
