Lyrics Maria - Country Joe & The Fish

Maria

Maria, I’m growing so tired of fighting this war
Maria, I feel like I just can’t go on anymore
The sounds we make as they’re dying
Hearing their screams and their crying
The children, their eyes are weeping
We filled them with pain
You know the reason I joined up to fight in this war
You know the reason I refuse to fight anymore
Maria, please help me, I feel like I’m going insane
Maria, at night in my dreams I keep calling your name
After the battle is over
And I am just another soldier
Maria, I’m longing to hold you again in my arms
You know the reason I joined up to fight in this war
You know the reason I refuse to fight anymore
