Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Home and done, it's just begun

His heart weighs more

More than it ever did before

What has he done?

[Verse 2]

God help my son

Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up

No sugar is enough to bring

Sweetness to his cup

I know sorrow tastes the same

On any tongue

[Verse 3]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]

How was I to feel it

When a gun was in my hand?

And I'd waited for so long

How was I to see straight

In the dust and blinding sun?

Just a pair of boots on the ground

[Verse 5]

On the screen the young men die

The children cry

In the rubble of their lives

What has he done?

God help my son

Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up

[Verse 6]

The volume pumped right up

But not enough to drown it out

I hear mama sounds the same

In any tongue

[Verse 7]

Yeah

[Verse 8]

How am I to see you

When my faith stands in the way?

And the wailing is long gone

How am I to know you

With a joystick in my hand?

When the call to arms has come
