In my life I took so many chances

I always said I wasn't scared to die

Now I'm here, down in the trenches

Looking death between the eyes



Good times and not so good

I had it all - And I remember like it was today

Now I will have

to leave it all behind



Oh Lord! Tell me what to do

God have mercy on me



Oh Lord! Show me the way

Give me a chance to carry on



Green grass, springtime, I had a dog once

My mother's eyes, I broke my leg - Saw the world

I made love - Joined the army, I got shot



Hard times and struggle and arguments

Who won? It doesn't really matter now -

Now there's no one who can help me out



Oh Lord! Tell me what to do

God have mercy on me



Oh Lord! Show mw the way

Give me the chance to carry on



Down in the trenches
