War child, soldier child

 

I am a war child, a soldier child

A torn up mind

Till peace I’ll find

 

They made me watch

how my parents died

They tore me up

And raped my mind

 

The first man I shot

I looked into his eyes

And I watched him die

 

And in my heart there was a cry

I shed no tears

I just lived my lie

 

I am a war child, a soldier child

A torn up mind

till peace I’ll find

 

A girl was raped

She lost her mind

She knew  till the day she’d die

Real love she’ll never find

 

She is a war child, a soldier child

A torn up mind

Till peace she’ll find

 

We are the children of war

We kill your heart

We kill your soul

We kill your mind

Like you killed ours

 

There is no war

That was ever won

All wars are lost

Till the last battle is won

 

The ghosts of the past

They follow close behind

They won’t leave me alone

 

Be ready to fight

For the future will be

A struggle for life

 

Don’t long for softness

Don’t long for tenderness

If your heart is still raging

 

The soul is a lonely wanderer

When all is quiet

Quiet  inside of you

Reach out for the beauty

The mind is like a flower

Fragile but ready to bloom

 

I am a war child, a soldier child

A torn up mind

till peace I’ll find

This song is dedicated to all the children who were forced to fight, kill and murder in wars that were not their wars and which were just created for the glory and honor and benefits of War Lords and the like. And to all those children who are still fighting in the present and who will be fighting in the future. May your hate disappear and may peace come into your hearts.
