[b]Warchild, soldierchild[/b] I am a war child, A soldier child A torn-up mind No peace I find They made me watch how my parents died They tore me up And raped my mind The first man I shot I looked into his eyes And watched him die And in my heart there was a cry I shed no tears Just lived my lie I am a war child a soldier child A torn-up mind No peace I find A girl was raped And she lost her mind She knew till the day shed die Real love shell never find She is a war child, a soldier child A torn-up mind No peace shell find We are the children of war We kill your heart We kill your soul We kill your mind Like you killed ours There is no war That was ever won All wars are lost When the last battle is won The ghosts of the past Follow close behind They wont leave me alone Be ready to fight For the future will be A struggle for life Dont long for softness Dont long for tenderness If your heart is still raging The soul is a lonely wanderer When all is quiet Quiet inside of you Reach out for the beauty The mind is like a flower Fragile but ready to bloom I am a war child A soldier child A torn-up mind till peace Ill find I was a war child A soldier child A torn-up mind Now peace Ill find Words & music by Ron Lindeman Copyright April 2011
