Jeffrey Gaines - A Simple Prayer lyrics

Neither side will win All are sure to fail But not joining in is an act of betrayal Betrayal to your king And all who fought before The noblest of things is to die in their war Neither should begin For everyone will lose Soldiers of tin With everything to prove Who do we oppose And what do we defend Honor I suppose End your simple day With this simple prayer Pray they're okay And in the Lord's care Pray they return with their faculty And one day we learn of war's futility End your simple day With this simple song Sing pain away Hope all are strong Hope they return To live happily And one day we learn of war's futility Neither side will win For nothing will be gained Notify next of kin Have this casualty claimed These are words of kings, commanders and chiefs You hear the same sort of things From scoundrels and thieves Neither should begin For what a price we pay Soldiers of tin being blown away Not a lot of grace Nor majesty A human disgrace End your simple day With this simple prayer Pray they're okay and in the Lord's care Pray they return with their faculty And one day we learn of war's futility End your simple day with this simple song Sing pain away hope all are strong Hope they return to their family And one day we learn of war's futility End your simple day With this simple prayer Pray they're okay and in the Lord's care Pray they return with their faculty And one day we learn of war's futility End your simple day With this simple song Sing pain away hope all are strong Hope they return to live happily And one day we learn of war's futility Neither side will win All are sure to fail But not joining in is an act of betrayal Betrayal to your king And all who fought before The noblest of things is to die in their war Neither should begin For everyone will lose Soldiers of tin With everything to prove Who do we oppose And what do we defend?
