rplayin - Purple Hearts Lyrics

Alert! Alert! A missing child, alert
His face hidden from the pain and hurt
A boy so broken he'll never be whole
Piercing words like bullets that rip his soul
Emotions explode like a sonic boom
Destroying all the children in the room
Shell-shocked by psychic fire of a war zone
Nowhere to turn, always fighting alone
Purple hearts for the ones who cry
For every child left wondering why
They carry wounds that no one can see
Living in a world where pain runs free
Purple hearts for the lost and torn
For the broken spirits never reborn
In the dark, they hide their tears
Purple hearts painted with their fears
Run and hide, child, the enemy is near
They crush your spirit and rule with fear
All hope is fading when purple hearts appear
And shadows laugh when he juggles a tear
The whispered voices echo through the night
Artificial dreams ignite the fight
Alone he plays in his desert mind
Dig deep in the sand, what would we find
Purple hearts for the ones who cry
For every child left wondering why
They carry wounds that no one can see
Living in a world where pain runs free
Purple hearts for the lost and torn
For the broken spirits never reborn
In the dark, they hide their tears
Purple hearts painted with their fears
Beneath the sand lies a story untold
A desert heart that's thirsty and cold
The battlefield's within, a silent scream
The child's lost in his own shattered dream
But there's a spark, a light to ignite
A hope that one day he'll win this fight
Purple hearts for the ones who cry
For every child left wondering why
They carry wounds that no one can see
Living in a world where pain runs free
Purple hearts for the lost and torn
For the broken spirits never reborn
In the dark, they hide their tears
Purple hearts painted with their fears
A desolate desert, thirsty and blind
Searching for peace they may never find
