I am a boy soldier
Look into my eyes
I'm tired and older
Than the dead man by my side
I can take your soul
In a flash and with a smile
And my home, and my name, and my life
Lie so very far behind me
Every second in no man's land
I hold my life in these small hands
Every day in a world gone mad
Hard to face who I am
Once we were children
Once we played in the morning light
Once we were dreamers
One morning they came
The soldiers took us away
I am a boy soldier
See my eyes, empty stare
Each day explodes with pain
And it's more than I can bare
The ghosts of the slain
Are the shadows in my eyes
And I dream tomorrow will come
And carry me away
Every second in No Man's Land
I hold my life in these small hands
Every day in a world gone mad
Hard to face who I am
Once we were children
Once we played in the morning light
Once we were dreamers
One morning they came
The soldiers took us away
Once we were children (Once we were children)
Once we played in the morning light
Once we were dreamers (We were dreamers)
One morning they came
The soldiers took us away
Once we were children
Once we played in the morning light
Once we were dreamers
