Runnin' as fast as I can
nCan't even see where I am, yeah
nOver the soldiers and the sand
This wasn't part of the plan
nnI never see the dawnnAlthough I know it comes, yeahnnIf I ever see blue skies in my town
nYou know I'll kiss the ground we walk on
nIf I ever watch fire flies all around
nShinin' like the stars above them
nThe bullets fly over my head
nJust like the words that you've said, son,
nSo put down your guns,nAnd that's the way the war was wonnnOver the edge and beyond
nOver the border there's no bombs
nFalling on soldiers and sand
nHoldin' their hearts in their hands
nnThey never miss the dawn
nAnd every day it comes, it comes
nnIf I ever see blue skies in my town
nYou know I'll kiss the ground we walk on
nIf I ever watch fire flies all around
nShinin' like the stars above them
nThe bullets fly over my head
nJust like the words that you've said, son,
nSo put down your guns,
nAnd that's the way the war was wonnnIf I ever see blue skies in my town
nYou know I'll kiss the ground we walk on
nIf I ever watch fire flies all around
nShinin' like the stars above them
nThe bullets fly over my head
nAs I lie awake in my bed
nI just can't forget what you said, son,
nLet's put down our guns,
nAnd that's the way the war was won
