Children of War

Lyrics

When I was young I never had to learn to fight, Or how to use a gun
When I was little I never had to worry, About where my food was coming from
When I was young I never had to run, run, run, run, run

When did we forget, the children of war
When did we forget what they’re fighting for

As I grew up I never had to read a list, to find my family
As I grew older I never had to worry, About where to find a place to sleep
As I grew up I never had to run, run, run, run, run

When did we forget, the children of war
When did we forget what they’re fighting for
Ooh did we forget, or choose to ignore
When did we forget, what they’re dying for
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run…

When did we forget, the children of war
When did we forget what they’re fighting for…

When did we forget, the children of war
When did we forget what they’re fighting for
Ooh did we forget, or choose to ignore
When did we forget, what they’re dying for.
