Love And War

When I sing about love and war
I dont really know what Im saying
Ive been in love and Ive seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord
But mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Ive seen a lot of young men go to war
And leave a lot of young brides waiting
Ive watched them try to explain it to their kids
And seen a lot of them failing
They tried to tell them and they tried to explain
Why daddy wont ever come home again.
Daddy wont ever come home again
I said a lot of things that I cant take back
But I dont really know if I want to
Thereve been songs about love
I sang songs about war
Since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
The saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to break the heart of your lover
I made a mistake and I did it again
And we struggled to recover
Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Ive been in love and Ive seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord
But mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war.
