Running as fast as I can
Can't even see where I am now
Over the soldiers and sand

This wasn't part of the plan

I never see the dawn

Although I know it comes

If I ever see blue skies in my town

You know I'll kiss the
Ground we walk on
If I ever watch fireflies all around

Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words that you said, son,

So put down your guns
And that's the way
The war was won


Over the edge and beyond
Over the border there's no bombs

Falling on soldiers and sand
Holding their hearts in their hands


If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the ground we walk on
If I ever watch fireflies all around

Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words that you said, son,

As we put down our guns
And that's the way
The war was won


If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the

Ground we walk on
If I ever see fireflies all around
Shining like the stars above them

The bullets fly over my head
As I lie awake in my bed
I just can't forget what you said, son,

As we put down our guns
And that's the way
The war was won

Was won
The war was won
