Little Soldier

How I want to wipe those crying eyes
And change your life, it's just not right
They scream but we don't hear it.

Your little feet carry brave a soldier
A child shouldn't need to prepare for war.

While the politicians run and hide
The innocent are sacrificed
And shattered lives aren't healing.

Your little feet carry brave a soldier
A child shouldn't need to prepare for war
Your little heart is too heavy for you
A child shouldn't feel so much pain, what for?

You should be playing cars and dolls
You're much too young for battle scars
Little soldier
It's hard to feel like someone cares
You're caught in a world that keeps you scared
Little soldier.

Your little feet carry brave a soldier
A child shouldn't need to prepare for war
Your little heart is too heavy for you
A child shouldn't feel so much pain, what for?

What for?
