| Verse 1 |
How long must children die in battle
For only being born in the wrong place, the wrong time
They're born in the wrong skin, born a crime
How long will their innocence be taken
Those eyes are pried open to wide
In the witness of death before beauty
In the eyes of a warchild |
| Chorus |
Here we go again
It's the same old story with the same old ending
One more lesson learned
Only to be forgotten
Lost in the eyes of a warchild |
| Verse 2 |
How long will they be born with a gun in their hand
Such a precious price they're made to pay
For somebody else's money
Somebody else's choice |
| Chorus |
Here we go again
It's the same old story with the same old ending
One more lesson learned
Only to be forgotten
Lost in the eyes of a warchild |
| Verse 3 |
How long will they remain a statistic
Collateral damage
Invisible bloodstain
On the conscience
Of those who put them there in the first place |
| Chorus |
Here we go again
It's the same old story with the same old ending
One more lesson learned
Only to be forgotten
Lost in the eyes of a warchild |
