Oh little Billy′s got a gun

Little Billy's having fun

Shooting bottles on the wallDreams the hero come home from war

Is this real

Is this make believe

We′d think we'd know how everything's

Supposed to be

Like a train blowing full steam ahead

Can′t hear what you′re saying

With everybody screaming

I'm afraid can′t lie

Momma said "baby don't you cry"

In the dark be the light

Don′t let go baby hold on tight

To believe is blind

Don't sacrifice another child

It′s not black and white

Unless you're looking through a madman's eyes

The truth might not be crystal clear

But if might is right there′s no room for love in here

Pray to God and hope He′s listening

A man with a gun brings the demons in

Oh we live as if our hands are tied

Is it really so hard

To do what we know is right

To protect the things that we hold dear

Must we do things that we should never forgive

I'm afraid can′t lie

Momma said "baby don't you cry"

In the dark be the light

Don′t let go baby hold on tight

To believe is blind

Don't sacrifice another child

It′s not black and white

Unless you're looking through a madman's eyes

Run and hide

Don′t ask why

Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes

When it′s too late to untwist the knife

How do we face hatred with the love inside us

I'm afraid can′t lie

Momma said "baby don't you cry"

In the dark be the light

Don′t let go baby hold on tight

To believe is blind

Don't sacrifice another child

It′s not black and white

Unless you're looking through a madman's eyes
