I'm just a child and I can't understand
Why can't the soldiers just leave our land
Every day the bombs fall
I can't take this anymore at all
Why can't we ever go back to our home
I was really happy
My friends were happy too
The sun has disappeared
Now there's only smoke we see through
I don't want this anymore
It's driving me insane
Soldiers please go back now
Return to where you came
I feel so alone
Why can't I go outside
Can't someone just tell me
This war has finally died
Why does daddy have to fight
He's not a soldier made for war
Mama, I want to play
I can't stand this anymore
I'm just a child and I can't understand
Why can't the soldiers just leave our land
Every day the bombs fall
I can't take this anymore at all
Why can't we ever go back to our home
I was really happy
My friends were happy too
The sun has disappeared
Now there's only smoke we see through
I don't want this anymore
It's driving me insane
Soldiers please go back now
Return to where you came
All my friends I cannot see right now
Life with them was beautiful somehow
They should stop this madness
I don't want this anymore
The loud bombs to endure
Is what I can't stand for
Daddy says it's war that keeps him far away
He promises he'd never leave another day
He'll show me the world when he comes back to me
But now he cannot stay here, cannot set us free
Cannot walk beside me
I'm still just a child
I try to understand
Why soldiers can't just leave our land
Every day the bombs fall
We can't take this anymore at all
And we can never go back to our home
We were so happy
All my friends were too
The sun has disappeared
Now there's only smoke we see through
We don't want this anymore
It's driving us insane
Soldiers please go back now
Return to where you came
