Love and War

When I sing about love and war I don't really know what I'm saying I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying. They pray to Allah and they prey to the Lord But mostly they pray about love and war. Pray about love and war Pray about love and war. I've seen a lot of young men go to war And leave a lot of young brides waiting I've watched them try to explain it to their kids And seen a lot of them failing. They tried to tell them and they tried to explain Why daddy won't ever come home again. Daddy won't ever come home Daddy won't ever come home. I said a lot of things that I can't take back But I don't really know if I want to There've been songs about love, I sang songs about war Since the backstreets of Toronto. I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord But I still try to sing about love and war. The saddest thing in the whole wide world Is to break the heart of your lover I made a mistake and I did it again And we struggled to recover. I sang in anger, hit another bad chord But I still try to sing about love and war. Sing about love and war Sing about love and war, love and war. When I sing about love and war I don't really know what I'm saying I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying. They pray to Allah and they prey to the Lord But mostly they pray about love and war. Pray about love and war Pray about love and war, love and war.
