BLESS THE WAR CHILD

Bless the war child
He sits alone here every night
will he survive the next fight?
Bless the war child
its just his sister and him, alive all alone
their family and friends now dead and gone.
Bless the war child
every day he prays above
wonders if god took back all his love.
Bless the war child

Surviving through bombs and gun shots that riegn out
children crying, people dieing, mothers scream and shout
Bless the war child
Sadness and anger fight for a place,
In this world its vicious and full of disgrace.
Bless the war child
Fighting a mixed up society,
that has become a Mochary.
Bless the war child
wondering what it is they did wrong
Why do these wars last so long?
Bless the war child

just only a small child but with a gun in his hand
for a man he doesnt even know, kill is the demand.
Bless the war child
Holding on to a past,
that did not last.
Bless the war child
.Killing this man, for killing that man.
How much more of this can we stand.
Bless the war child.

why cant we stop this meaningless fighting
what cant we create this world of ever lasting meaning
Help move the walls of madness
stop the pain and the sadness
we wanna carry on into tommorow
end the hatred and the sorrow.
bless the war child

In the middle if the war is where he fell
maybe its ok, he was living in hell.
bless the war child
Infront of the gates is where he now stands
God smiles at him and lends him a hand.

Dear lord he says, please wait to hear what i have to say,
we just cant leave the world this way.

The lord smiles and says its all in there hearts,
excepting eachother is where it must start.

Then tell me dear lord what can I do?

Little boy he says I bless this onto you,
With wings I give you an angel you now will be,
and you shall fly and follow me,
.....and bless the war child.
