lyrics

Dear God
08/05/86 - WPB


dear god
please keep the merry men
they understand
what it is we’re fighting for

dear god
please keep the little ones
without them we’ve no one
to hold tomorrow’s guns

dear god
i hope you will let me see
what it’s all for
before you’ve done away with me

dear god
you know i would like to think
there’s some sense
in all this senseless killing
going on round me

dear god
please keep the lovers young
it makes him brave
it makes her wait
until they’ve come undone

dear god
please keep the old men wise
they guide us on to glory
without regard for human life

dear god
it’s taken me a million years to make
and yet within a moment
it can all be blown away

dear god
how could things have come to this
it seems we have so little left
not even common sense

dear god
if you please keep all of these
then maybe there would be no wars
and i could live in peace

dear god
i think you are really mean
to kill me june first sixty-nine
in vietnam
