I saw a little boy today |
|
I saw a little boy today who didn't want this fight |
|
The other children laughed at him |
|
It was a frightening thought |
|
And I, I began to cry |
|
Someone asked why |
|
Someone asked what for |
|
'Cause something inside of me, something inside of me |
|
Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war |
|
I was a witness to what happened |
|
And I hated what I saw |
|
I was a witness to a war, to a war |
|
I saw a woman dressed in black |
|
Her husband isn't coming back, she didn't want him to go |
|
They said he had to do his chores before |
|
Their future could grow |
|
And I, I began to cry |
|
Someone asked why |
|
Someone asked what for |
|
'Cause something inside of me, something inside of me |
|
Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war |
|
I was a witness to the heartbreak |
|
That some soldier's woman bore |
|
I was a witness to a war, to a war |
|
I saw an ugly field today |
|
I saw an ugly field today where only crosses could grow |
|
A monument to modern man, and now |
|
There's no place to go |
|
And I, I began to cry |
|
But no-one asked why |
|
No-one asked what for |
|
But something inside of me, something inside of me |
|
Something inside of me said I was a victim of a war |
|
I was a victim of the madness |
|
That we should have stopped before |
|
I was a witness to a war, to a war |
