i'm standing on a hillside

in the early morning rain

i can still hear the voices

still feel the pain

it surrounds me

encompasses me

until i fall

fall to my knees

and i shed a tear

for all who've been here

this is no place for me

no place for anybody

and as i look towards the sky

all i can do is wonder why

why so many men had to die

why so many children had to cry

and as i walk along

i close my eyes and dream

but all i see is wrong

and the air is full of screams

the sounds of gunfire

and a gernade

with a soldier's life

that debt's paid

why so many men had to die

why so many children had to cry

it is far too real

to express how i feel

just to be where

so many men died

all because our leaders lied

without a care

and because our leaders lied

all i can do is wonder why

why so many men had to die

why so many children had to cry
