Paroles
[Verse 1]
Home and done, it's just begun
His heart weighs more
More than it ever did before
What has he done?
[Verse 2]
God help my son
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up
No sugar is enough to bring
Sweetness to his cup
I know sorrow tastes the same
On any tongue
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
How was I to feel it
When a gun was in my hand?
And I'd waited for so long
How was I to see straight
In the dust and blinding sun?
Just a pair of boots on the ground
[Verse 5]
On the screen the young men die
The children cry
In the rubble of their lives
What has he done?
God help my son
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up
[Verse 6]
The volume pumped right up
But not enough to drown it out
I hear mama sounds the same
In any tongue
[Verse 7]
Yeah
[Verse 8]
How am I to see you
When my faith stands in the way?
And the wailing is long gone
How am I to know you
With a joystick in my hand?
When the call to arms has come
