All the people know

the line of soldiers go

marching off to war.

Our friends and neighbors go

our sons and daughters go

marching off to war.

Our hearts go with them

our prayers as well

into this endeavor

the soldiers will call hell.

All the lives lost

who pays the costs?

Are these the spoils of war?

When a child is killed

when a mother weeps

who really cares?

Were our thoughts with them

or were our prayers?

Enter this endeavor

soldiers will call hell.
