Lidia:
[reading her summer report]
My dad once said of fightin', we were meant for better things, you and I. And these days when ever I'm ready to haul off and belt someone whose got my dander up, I here him whisper those words in my ear. My mama says people's lives are like tapestries. The color and the beauty of the design is to bring all of the people you know, the things you've learned. Lidia:
[putting aside her paper]
But I learned this summer is that no matter now much people think they understand war, war will never understand people. It's like a big machine that don't nobody really know how to work. Once it gets out of hand, well it's breakin' all of the things you thought you was fightin' for. Whole bunch of other good things you sort of forgot you had

My daddy once said of fighting
00:00:02.967 --> 00:00:05.344
We are meant for better things you and I
00:00:05.057 --> 00:00:08.606
And these days whenever I'm ready to belt someone
00:00:08.641 --> 00:00:10.306
who's got my dander up
00:00:10.341 --> 00:00:13.287
I hear him whisper those words in my ear
00:00:16.028 --> 00:00:20.284
My mama says that people's lives are like tapestries
00:00:20.319 --> 00:00:22.253
The color and the beauty of the designs
00:00:22.288 --> 00:00:24.922
depend all on the people you know
00:00:24.957 --> 00:00:27.698
the things you've learned
00:00:33.531 --> 00:00:35.567
What I learned this summer
00:00:36.634 --> 00:00:40.705
is that no matter how much people think they understand war
00:00:40.074 --> 00:00:43.276
war will never understand people
00:00:45.002 --> 00:00:49.082
It's like a big machine that don't nobody really know how to work
00:00:51.415 --> 00:00:53.417
Once it gets out of hand
00:00:53.951 --> 00:00:55.857
winds up wrecking all the things
00:00:55.892 --> 00:00:57.763
you thought you was fighting for
00:00:58.422 --> 00:01:02.037
and a whole bunch of other good things you sort of forgot you had
