Last night I had a bad dream
That my soldier fell
Well some may call this war
But I call it...hell
And I tied yellow ribbons
Round every tree in the yard
I even tied one on
The antenna of my car
And they'll stay right where they are
Until my soldier comes home
From the guard
Oh what were they thinking
When they started this war
Not about the hearts
That would be breaking that's for sure
Oh God I hate this war
It's been going on to long
Oh God I hate this war
Because it's just wrong
Oh God I hate this war
Cause I want my soldier to come home
Oh I love to hear the voice
Of my soldier on the phone
When the call is over
That's when I break down
And somehow I need closure
Cause I just want my soldier...
To be closer
Oh what were they thinking
Didn't they count the cost
What about the lives
Of our loved ones that would be lost
Oh God I hate this war
It's been going on to long
Oh God I hate this war
Because it's just wrong
Oh God I hate this war
Cause I want my soldier to come home
Some days I just can't take it anymore
Oh God I hate this war
Cause I want my soldier to come home
Oh I want my soldier to come home
