[Verse 1]
Dad, what did you do in the war?
Something to answer for?
You say too young I am to know
Dad, I've heard you cry at night
Mournful and desperate blight
Where did you learn that song you sing
[Chorus]
"War is in me! I was the war!
And your praying brings back the suffering
No, please, don't start to cry
I only pray you'll never know
The things I see every time I close my eyes
Angels still have faces"
[Post-Chorus]
What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
Why can't you smile when the children sing
Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings
And your soul is now torn, unlike mine
Do you fear yesterday will in someway
Define the life of your child?
[Verse 2]
Dad, I know what you did in the war
Deeds devils would abhor
Did you fulfill the oath you swore?
Dad, what did you do in the war?
Something to answer for?
You say too young I am to know
Dad, I've heard you cry at night
Mournful and desperate blight
Where did you learn that song you sing
[Chorus]
"War is in me! I was the war!
And your praying brings back the suffering
No, please, don't start to cry
I only pray you'll never know
The things I see every time I close my eyes
Angels still have faces"
[Post-Chorus]
What did you do in the war, dad, tell me
Why can't you smile when the children sing
Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings
And your soul is now torn, unlike mine
Do you fear yesterday will in someway
Define the life of your child?
[Verse 2]
Dad, I know what you did in the war
Deeds devils would abhor
Did you fulfill the oath you swore?
