(Blood, Sweat & Tears)
|
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 sight
|
And I, I began to cry
|
Someone asked why
|
Someone asked what for
|
But 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
|
But they said he had to do his part before
|
Their future could grow
|
And I, I began to cry
|
Someone asked why
|
Someone asked what for
|
But 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
|
