When I sing about love and war I don't really know what I'm saying I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying
They prayed to Allah, they prayed to the Lord And mostly they prayed about love and war
Prayed about love and war Prayed about love and war
I've seen a lot of young man go to war And leave a lot young brides waiting I watched them try to explain it to their kids And seen a lot of them failing They tried to tell and they tried to explain Why daddy won't ever come home again
Daddy won't ever come home Daddy won't ever come home
I said a lot of things that I can't take back But I don't really know if I want to They've been songs about love; I sang songs about war Since the back streets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord But I still trying to sing about love and war
