Rise Against - This Time It's Personal lyrics

From every rooftop they are crying out
I don't know how
But it all starts to sound the same to me
And when these fields are
Overrun with children
Dodging dropping bombs, yeah
Your flags all look the same to me
And all I wanted was the
Chance to know your name
But helplessly I stood there as
The world ripped you away

Even if you're traveling at
The speed of light
Circling the sun two thousand times
I will follow you into it's light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time it's personal

And don't run from the person you've become
From the lines that you have drawn
And don't forget where you come from
Hey, don't look away
Stand up, chum, now show your face
Stand your ground, now come what may
Say what you came here to say
How could I let you slip away?

Even if you're traveling at
The speed of light
Circling the sun two thousand times
I will follow you into it's light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time, this time

Hey!
In everyone, in every place
I hear your voice, I see your face
But from my hands, you slipped away

Even if your traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun two thousand times
I will follow you into it's light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time, this time
