IT’S HAPPENING IN THE DESERT
As it happened on the plain
It happened in the jungle
And it’s happening again
Our dearest treasures sacrificed
To fight for God knows what
No sleep for kids in combat zones
With knots tied in their gut
They come from every city
Asked to kill and bleed and die
Their mothers pray and cry for them
No matter on whose side
They just keep moving forward
Knowing not the reason for
There’s always time for them to fight
Somebody else’s war
