Sixteen Today Lyrics - Full Scale - Full Scale

I wasn't born here sir, but yes I live here 

Can you help me sir, I'm dying here 

I come not for me, but for my brother 

He's a teenage boy and yes, he's dying here 

I came across the ocean, 

Three long months I spent, 

Every one of those days 

Scratched into my arm 

Now I come here for forgiveness 

I come here to be free 

I'm dying, yeah I'm dying, I'm dying 

So I'll fight fire with fire, 

And I'll take back the game, 

And I'll grow up twisted and blank in a cage 

I turn sixteen today 

Listen to the spin, we're not being persecuted 

Then you bomb our country to liberate the persecuted? 

I wrote a letter just the other day 

I got no reply so I thought I'd say 

That I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying 

I turn sixteen today. 

Days on end 

It's like I'm getting older 

Bless me friend 

It's like I'm growing colder 

Days on end 

I'm looking over my shoulder 

Bless me friend 

It's like I'm growing 

I'm thirteen, I'm fourteen, I'm fifteen 

I'm sixteen today
