War is about soldiers dying
People crying
With firing guns
And lost loved ones
War is families torn apart
With people left with broken hearts
Fearless soldiers risk their lives
Leaving their children and leaving their wives
People are captured tortured and slain
This is what causes alot of the pain
As the war drags on from day to day
Innocent people have to pay
Screams of terror fill the air
As guns are fired and people stare
All we can do is hope and pray
That the war will be over at last someday
