In the month of June five years ago
That's when I came to be

And though I'm not yet wordly wise
My eyes can clearly see

I love my mom and daddy too
I pray my soul to keep

And I ask for a happy home
When I lay me down to sleep

But lately mommy cries at night
She thinks that I won't hear

When daddy said my name today

He wiped away a tear

I know that something isn't right
I see it in their eyes

Oh how I wish it wasn't so
But the truth can't be denied

I'm caught in the crossfire
Of a war that can't be won

Mom calls me her little man
Daddy's only son

I love them both but I can't choose
Which one to leave behind

I'm caught in the crossfire
Of a world that's so unkind

Before you go to sleep tonight
Say a prayer for me
I'm one of the millions
From a broken family

My wish is but a simple one
My needs they are but few

The promise of a happy home
And love to see us through

I'm caught in the crossfire
Of a war that can't be won

Mom calls me her little man
Daddy's only son

I love them both but I can't choose
Which one to leave behind

I'm caught in the crossfire
Of a world that's so unkind

I'm caught in the crossfire
Of a war that can't be won

Mom calls me her little man
Daddy's only son

I love them both but I can't choose
Which one to leave behind

I'm caught in the crossfire
Of a world that's so unkind

I love them both but I can't choose
Which one to leave behind

I'm caught in the crossfire

Of a world that's so unkind
