Текст песни

Home and done, it's just begun,
His heart weighs more, more than it ever did before.
What has he done? God, help my son!
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up.
No sugar is enough to bring sweetness to his cup,
I know sorrow tastes the same on any tongue.

How was I to feel it
When a gun was in my hands,
And I'd waited for so long?
How was I to see straight
In the dust and blinding sun?
Just a pair of boots on the ground.

On the screen the young men die,
The children cry in the rubble of their lives.
What has he done? God, help my son!
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up.
The volume pumped right up is not enough to drown it out,
I hear “mama” sounds the same in any tongue.

How am I to see you
When my faith stands in the way,
And the wailing is long done?
How am I to know you
With a joystick in my hand
When the call to arms has come?
