The Battle Sight

I hear the thunder of the guns,
I see your children try to run.
See us stand by waters edge,
Some alive, but most are dead.
We do not know just why we're here,
Daily fighting, year to year.
Another soldier gives his life,
Now he may go home to his wife.
A child stands beside the grave,
Of a soldier proud and brave.
Crying softly in his pain,
"I'll be here to carry on your name."
Lord, I feel the strength inside me flee,
Oh dear Lord Please hear my plea.
I pray to you the one who knows,
Of spirits high and troubled souls.
Take our hands and our souls,
Please guide us weary ones to our homes.
I call on you to lend a hand,
To give us peace through out our land.
