New dawn
No more fear, no destruction
No more guns
No more scenes of horror on the ground
Smoke is gone
Skies are blue
A peaceful sun
The sound of laughter echoes all around
Months it's been since I left the site of gore
Sounds of death, the cries of pain
The plight of greed, the wrath of war
Crimson washed by the rain
Someday
I may understand why people send their children off to war, to die
Someday
I may understand the miracle of my life, while others make the sacrifice
There she stands
Gently holds my hand
And takes me far beyond
To another world, another land
Don't understand
How she found me
Resurrected, born again
I was saved but others lost their sons
Months it's been since I left the hills
Left the horrors and the shrills
There they lie, under the sky
Faces still, but spirits fly
Dark clouds filled the skies
I can still hear their cries
They went to the hills to die
Oh mothers I ask you why
Someday
I may understand why people send their children off to war, to die
Someday
I may understand the miracle of my life, while brothers make the sacrifice
Tyrants will rise
Beget the sacrifice
Tear us apart
Silence our hearts
Play to our fears
Mothers shed tears
Hope is all but gone
United, we stand tall
Divide us, down we fall
For the sake of our young
Right the wrong
Must be strong
Brave men must rise
Open our eyes
Walk to the light
Stand for what's right
Sunrise, it's a new dawn
Someday
I may understand how brave men make the choice to die, to take a stand
Someday
I may understand the miracle of my life, while others make the sacrifice
Oh
Got to take a stand
Make the sacrifice
They're far beyond
In the great unknown
Even though they may be gone
Their memory forever lives on
We have to change
We have to learn
For our daughters
For our sons
Months it's been
Since I first held my son
He'll grow and make a change
So they wouldn't die in vain
Die in vain
Die in vain
Make a change
