The Way the War Was Won

Running as fast as I can Can't even see where I am now Over the soldiers and sand This wasn't part of the plan I never see the dawn Although I know it comes If I ever see blue skies in my town You know I'll kiss the Ground we walk on If I ever watch fireflies all around Shining like the stars above them The bullets fly over head Just like the words you said, son, So put down your guns And that's the way The war was won Over the edge and beyond Over the border there's no bombs Falling on soldiers and sand Holding their hearts in their hands If I ever see blue skies in my town You know I'll kiss the Ground we walk on If I ever watch fireflies all around Shining like the stars above them The bullets fly over head Just like the words you said, son, So put down your guns And that's the way The war was won If I ever see blue skies in my town You know I'll kiss the Ground we walk on If I ever watch fireflies all around Shining like the stars above them The bullets fly over head As I lie awake in my bed I just can't forget what you said, son, As we put down our guns And that's the way The war was won Was won The war was won
