What Did You Do in the War, Dad? |
| Dad, what did you do in the war? |
| Something to answer for? |
| You say too young I am to know |
| Dad, I’ve heard you cry at night |
| Mournful and desperate blight |
| Where did you learn that song you sing |
| «War is in me! |
| I was the war! |
| And your praying brings back the suffering |
| No, please, don’t start to cry |
| I only pray you’ll never know |
| The things I see every time I close my eyes |
| Angels still have faces» |
| What did you do in the war, dad, tell me Why can’t you smile when the children sing |
| Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings |
| And your soul is now torn, unlike mine |
| Do you fear yesterday will in someway |
| Define the life of your child? |
| Dad, I know what you did in the war |
| Deeds devils would abhor |
| Did you filfil the oath you swore? |
| Dad, did you do it for me? |
| Their blood for my life to live |
| In the hollow without reprieve, without you |
| «War is in me! |
| I am the war! |
| Don’t you force me to live the nightmare again! |
| I’m sorry |
| Please, don’t make my cry |
| My son, you never ever want to know |
| How when guarding your sleep serene I hear |
| The silence of the children who sang» |
| Far and beyond the stars there’s |
| A place where all the love, |
| All the goodness we could have still resides |
| But we choose life away from the light |
| You can find ghosts of loss in the gaze of your |
| Beautiful child |
