I see the light, I see the dark I see the war, I see the might I feel the pain, I feel the ache I feel the hole, where the bullet went right on the hip I feel the pain, I feel the hole, where the bullet went right on the hip I feel the pain, I feel the hole, where the bullet went right on the hip I feel the pain, I feel the hole, where the bullet went right on the hip I remember not long ago, the child was happy learning to grow Her mother held her so tightly, to shield her from eternity The door flew open, a soldier burst in He pulled the trigger, he pulled the pin Then he realized what he had done The consequence of the smoking gun The child was crying, what a mess A red blood trickled down her dress The soldier's nerves broke him and roared A small cog in some insane war He picked the child up, his hands all red There'd be no more dreams in her pretty head And into history they went Life's a present, but it's only meant I don't wanna kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
