lyrics

I know by your reading this letter
It's over for me my dear
But though it's hard to put pen down on paper
There's things that I need to be clear
I don't know why it has come to this
I cannot understand
Instead of fighting my enemies
I'd rather shake their hand

CHORUS

But don't you feel anger, don't you feel hate
Don't cry for me my love, now it's too late
I know that you're bitter, I know you're concerned
We've all had the lessons
But it seems there's a failure to learn

We're told we are here as peace keepers
But I doubt if that's what they've got planned
For if I am here to keep peace, mother dear
Then why is there a gun in my hand?
And why are there soldiers in doorways?
Why are there mines on these roads?
And why are there fatherless children?
Don't ask me, for I'll never know

CHORUS

I did not ask for this
I never wanted this
I never dreamed I would die
Why can't we all exist
Without our lives at risk?
It leaves me wondering why

CHORUS
