Nobody Wins
Blood shed open fire
Weak and tired
Ditches to be their bed
Fifty winks they lay their head
Haunted by the blasting sound
Grieved by bodies on the ground
His daddy had to leave
To young to really know to young to grieve
A call on the phone leaves a saddened end
Running to her arms is a comforting friend
Commands came in an order was spoken
Not one thing differant but more hearts broken
In the bedroom playing is their son
Scattered on the floor are army men with guns
Side by side he puts them in a line
This ones Tommy's daddy this ones mine
Crashing and banging in all his fun
All bad guys gone and daddy won
Holding daddy in his hand
He runs to mommy as fast as he can
The bad guys are dead and daddy won
Picking him up she cradles her son
Mommy don't cry now you wont be alone
The bad guys are dead daddy's comming home
