[00:18.280]When I sing about love and war
[00:21.660]I don't really know what I'm saying
[00:26.590]I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
[00:30.440]Seen a lot of people praying
[00:33.750]
[00:34.780]They pray to Allah and they pray to the lord
[00:39.010]But mostly they pray about love and war
[00:47.710]
[00:58.590]Pray about love and war
[01:02.330]Pray about love and war
[01:11.550]I've seen a lot of young men go to war
[01:15.150]And leave a lot of young brides waiting
[01:19.990]I've watched them try to explain it to their kids
[01:23.720]And seen a lot of them failing
[01:28.030]They tried to tell them and they tried to explain
[01:32.120]Why daddy won't ever come home again.
[01:38.390]
[01:51.400]Daddy won't ever come home again
[01:55.230]Daddy won't ever come home again
[02:04.680]I said a lot of things that I can't take back
[02:07.320]But I don't really know if I want to
[02:11.860]I sang songs about war
[02:15.900]Since the backstreets of Toronto
[02:20.090]I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
[02:24.500]But I still try to sing about love and war
[02:30.150]
[03:21.290]The saddest thing in the whole wide world
[03:24.490]Is to break the heart of your lover
[03:28.750]I made a mistake and I did it again
[03:32.570]And we struggled to recover
[03:36.880]Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
[03:40.710]But I still try to sing about love and war
[03:50.940]
[03:59.350]I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
[05:07.830]
