Buddy, Julie Miller - War Child lyrics

War child, spend your life on the run
War child, make you carry a gun
Never sleep more than one night in one place
Never without hungry eyes on your face
War child, spend your life on the run

War child, under a wicked hand
War child, lost the claim on your land
You see things nobody ever should see
There's no one left now from your family
War child, under a wicked hand

War child, no one knows who you are
War child, you have wandered so far
You always cry out for help or in vain
Dare anyone who remembers your name
War child, no one knows who you are

War child, you are lost to this world
War child, in a tragic preserve
Victims abandoned to despots of evil
Refugees, wretched pawns torn in upheaval
War child, you are lost to this world

War child, you will never grow old
War child, you have nowhere to own
Oppressors of people, corrupt opportunists
Compassion forsaken and sacrificed to this
War child, you will never grow old
You will never grow old
You will never grow old

War child war child
War child war child
