Flashback
I saw a young girl standing there Dressed in rags, eyes full of despair Her home in flames, dazed and confused Her frail body battered and bruised
She could not speak, she made no sound she just slowly looked around As we passed by her humble Ville It seemed like the whole damn world stood still
Flames were reaching towards the sky God only knows how many died Enemy arms caught fire in the well An explosion opened the gates of hell
Bullets whizzed by, the earth was rocked We slowly recovered from the shock Crawled to our knees and looked around The little girl lay bleeding on the ground
This is something we have seen before We chalked it up as a reality of war No time for compassion, couldn't let it sting We Blocked it out , didn't mean a thing
Hardened warriors with hearts of stone We were thankful it wasn't one of our own We walked away and never looked back It was just another day, another attack
Through the years in the stillness of night We unwillingly continue to fight the fight Though at the time we believed our own lies The truth is seen " today " in our eyes
" It did mean something "
