Oh little Billy′s got a gun
Little Billy's having fun
Shooting bottles on the wallDreams the hero come home from war
Is this real
Is this make believe
We′d think we'd know how everything's
Supposed to be
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Can′t hear what you′re saying
With everybody screaming
I'm afraid can′t lie
Momma said "baby don't you cry"
In the dark be the light
Don′t let go baby hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It′s not black and white
Unless you're looking through a madman's eyes
The truth might not be crystal clear
But if might is right there′s no room for love in here
Pray to God and hope He′s listening
A man with a gun brings the demons in
Oh we live as if our hands are tied
Is it really so hard
To do what we know is right
To protect the things that we hold dear
Must we do things that we should never forgive
I'm afraid can′t lie
Momma said "baby don't you cry"
In the dark be the light
Don′t let go baby hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It′s not black and white
Unless you're looking through a madman's eyes
Run and hide
Don′t ask why
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
When it′s too late to untwist the knife
How do we face hatred with the love inside us
I'm afraid can′t lie
Momma said "baby don't you cry"
In the dark be the light
Don′t let go baby hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It′s not black and white
Unless you're looking through a madman's eyes
