To the Children
September 29, 1991

wake up little children listen
know this I have to tell
that war -
and all of victory
means nothing more then hell

don't listen to your parents tell you
god has given us to fight
stand up for your country
might is right -
live and die to grow towards freedom
they don't like I know -
but children, this I tell you
they can't tell

I watch line upon line of children march
out into the killing fields
watch them raise their banners
watch them die -
war on tv's so far away
but I turn aside to cry
I think I knew those children
the cry is old - they did not have to die

carry back the dead in caskets
honor those who lost -
you say to die for me is glory
I say that you lie -
one day may come an answer
never hear the call again
never take my children from me
never see the caskets come -
in the ashes of the fire
mass graves on all the tv shows
see the children sing in triumph
brothers, sisters, carried home
I know to you this was a glory -
glory is a stone
