Dad, what did you do in the war?

Something to answer for?

You say too young I am to know

G minorGm             Eb MajorEb
Dad, I've heard you cry at night

Where did you learn that song you sing

"War is in me! I was the war!
     G minorGm           FF
And your praying brings back the suffering
  C minorCm      Eb MajorEb    G minorGm
No, please, don't start to cry
C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
I only pray you'll never know
       G minorGm        FF
The things I see every time I close my eyes
C minorCm   Eb MajorEb     G minorGm FF
Angels still have faces"

    G minorGm    Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb   FF
Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings
     G minorGm     Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
And your soul is now torn, unlike mine
    C minorCm     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
Do you fear yesterday will in someway
 FF
Define the life of your child?

Dad, I know what you did in the war
          G minorGm
Deeds devils would abhor
          FF
Did you filfil the oath you swore?

G minorGm           Eb MajorEb
Dad, did you do it for me?
              G minorGm
Their blood for my life to live
         FF
In the hollow without reprieve, without you

C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
"War is in me! I am the war!
     G minorGm          FF
Don't you force me to live the nightmare again!

Please, don't make my cry
    C minorCm       Eb MajorEb
My son, you never ever want to know

How when guarding your sleep serene I hear

The silence of the children who sang"

    D MajorD         Eb MajorEb      FF
All the goodness we could have still resides
    G minorGm     D MajorD       Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
But we choose life away from the light
    C minorCm       D MajorD      Eb MajorEb
You can find ghosts of loss in the gaze of your
