AmiGunshots shatter in the peace of night
It's
Gjust another firefight
For the
Fpeople of this little
Gtown
But for the dying soldier
Well he's feeling ten years older
As he's lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head
And all the words that his mother said
As she would put him to bed back home

CYour Daddy when he

And your
Cbrother he was
Gkilled in the

And your
Cmother, well she's
Glying home
Amialone
Everyday she sees your face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came five years ago
You said "Mother, I need to know"
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
"I know the things my Daddy done
And I've seen the medals that he's won
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me
Ref.
Now she wonders at it all
Just in whose name, do these brave young heros fall
And how many more are gonna answer that call
They're gonna fight and die in another country's war
They're gonna die for a religion didn't believe in at all
They're gonna die in a place they should never been at all
Oh, never been at all
