Scars Lyrics by Brian McGovern

Wife

0

[Verse 1]
Mother make me aware of the weight of their prayers
And pretend that you can't see what is true
'Cause we don't need to feel scared, as your sight is impaired
If you struggle, I'll struggle with you
And if we're loyal to our God then he might spare us all
From the evil that is taunting us now
And our moment has come, to stand tall and be one
'Cause there's something we all should say loud

[Chorus]
Is that I'll fight for my child, to provide her with life
And I'll see that she comes to no harm
When religious belief is what causes this grief
Yeah, the [?] causes alarm
And now I see a man blown to death by a tank
And I wonder what he could have been
Heroes died for a cause not a round of applause
But they're scarred of the things they've seen

[Verse 2]
But love and war, they don't mix I'm sure
Now the whole damn world has gone mad
Love and war, it's the devil's cure
See it's making the saviour look bad
Mother cast your lights, refresh their sight
And I'll scream 'till she loses her pain
I'll grieve for you, you'll grieve for, you sighed
Mother make me aware of what's happening there
'Cause you know I will help if I can
Mother I'm too weak, it attacks my sleep
I can see when that man killed my dad
But don't you cry my child, 'cause we've both survived
You know that your father's not here
As we struggle along, as we've always done
In silence

[Chorus]
That I'll fight for my child, to provide her with life
And I'll see that she comes to no harm
When religious belief is what causes this grief
Yeah, the [?] causes alarm
And now I see a man blown to death by a tank
And I wonder what he could have been
Heroes died for a cause not a round of applause
But they're scarred of the things they've seen

[Outro]
People lose in life
People take your flights
People lose in sight
You see a million scars
Cover broken hearts
Tonight
