Itnow seems just so long ago
When I was but a child
Playing at soldiers, guns and war
It all seemed kind of wild
But now that I am older
It was but all in jest
Theres nothing at all thats glorified
That ends in some ones death
But then we were but children
And thatwas only play
And now that we are older
We should find some other way
Those games we played as children
I know they were pretend
But if we did'nt play them, in the first place
Maybe then the wars will end.
