Lyrics Child of War - Lipbone Redding
I'm
just
a
boy
but
I'm
a
soldier
on
the
border
My
country's
endless
war
has
scattered
All
her
sons
and
daughters
My
mother
and
my
father
I've
not
heard
from
them
at
all
The
days
pass
and
the
nights
are
long
There
is
so
much
that
I'm
not
meant
to
understand
Why
these
villages
must
burn
Why
this
weapon's
in
my
hand
Let
the
river
on
the
rock
keep
talking
It's
telling
me
That
I'm
more,
more,
more...
Than
a
child
of
war
Whoo
(More
more
more
than
a
child
of
war)
Whoo
whoo
(More
more
more
than
a
child
of
war)
Whoo
whoo
(More
more
more
than
a
child
of
war)
Whoo
whoo
More
more
more
All
you
masterminds
of
hatred
You
must
be
mistaken
To
think
I
won't
remember
That
your
children
won't
awaken
Let
the
river
on
the
rock
keep
talking
It's
telling
me
That
I'm
more,
more,
more...
Than
a
child
of
war
Whoo
(More
more
more
than
a
child
of
war)
Whoo
whoo
(More
more
more
than
a
child
of
war)
Whoo
whoo
(More
more
more
than
a
child
of
war)
Whoo
whoo
More
more
more
Tonight
I
sing
for
you
I
hope
my
song
is
sweet
and
clear
Tonight
I
sing
for
all
of
those
who
could
not
make
it
here
If
the
morning
comes
for
me
Tell
them
all
That
I'm
gone,
gone,
gone
Down
another
road
Whoo
whoo
Gone,
gone,
gone
Down
another
road
Whoo
whoo
Gone,
gone,
gone
Down
another
road
Whoo
whoo
Gone
gone
gone
More,
more,
more
Than
a
child
of
war
