Music and lyrics by Ron Lindeman.

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.
