You say too young I am to know

Dad, I've heard you cry at night
                       Gm
Mournful and desperate blight

Where did you learn that song you sing

And your praying brings back the suffering

The things I see every time I close my eyes
Cm     Eb         Gm F
Angels still have faces"

What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
Eb                           Bb       F
Why can't you smile when the children sing
        Gm       Eb           Bb      F
Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings
         Gm          Eb           Bb
And your soul is now torn, unlike mine

Do you fear yesterday will in someway

Dad, I know what you did in the war

Did you filfil the oath you swore?

Their blood for my life to live

In the hollow without reprieve, without you

My son, you never ever want to know
         Gm                  F

A place where all the love,
