The Missionary |
| I didn’t know we were at war |
| I’ve been away so long |
| Trying to help once lost men |
| Distinguish right from wrong |
| I didn’t know we’d killed the men |
| Our leaders proud and strong |
| The situation’s changed my friend |
| I’ve been away too long |
| I taught my friends |
| How we had gained respect for every man |
| And freedom flowed like jungle streams |
| While peace embraced the land |
| I told them how we’d learned to change |
| Our sword blades into plows |
| I told them they should learn from us |
| What should I tell them now |
| 'Cause I didn’t know we were at war |
| I’ve been away so long |
| Trying to help once lost men |
| Distinguish right from wrong |
| The jungle silence shut them off |
| From civilized mankind |
| Their nakedness was no disgrace |
| No censors could I find |
| The population lived in peace |
| All brothers on their own |
| And now that I have seen the mess |
| I don’t think I’ll go home |
| 'Cause I didn’t know we were at war |
| I’ve been |
