A Hundred Men |
| A hundred men went off to war |
| … a hundred men |
| Their hearts were heavy, their heads were high |
| As they kissed the ones they left behind |
| Some were eager, some were scared |
| Nobody knew, and nobody cared |
| When a hundred men went to war |
| Then a thousand men went off to war |
| … a thousand men |
| And a few now said that it wasn’t right |
| And a few said prayers in their beds at night |
| For the hearts so heavy, the heads so high |
| Who kissed the ones they loved goodbye |
| For those so eager, and those so scared |
| A few now knew, a few now cared |
| When a Thousand men went off to war |
| … Ten thousand men |
| Then a million men went off to war |
| … a million men |
| Now fear came a creepin' down many a street |
| Borne on the dust of a million feet |
| And many now said that it wasn’t right |
| And many prayed in their beds at night |
| For the hearts so heavy, the heads so high |
| Who kissed the ones they loved goodbye |
| For those so eager, and those so scared |
| For many now knew, and many now cared |
| When a million men went to war |
| Then all mankind went off to war |
| … Yes, all mankind |
| And the people fought, and the people cried |
| And the people prayed, but the people died |
| And fear like a flood covered every street |
| And mixed with the mud of a billion feet |
| And all now said that it wasn’t right |
| And prayed as one to the fiery night |
| Their hearts were heavy as they watched the sky |
| And kissed the ones they loved goodbye |
| Now none were eager, but all were scared |
| Now they knew that they should’ve cared |
| When a hundred men went off to war |
| … a hundred men |
