And I often sigh 
I often wonder why 
I'm still here and I still cry 

And I often cry 
I often spill a tear 
Over those not here 
But still they are so near 

Please ease my burden 

And I still remember 
A memory and I weep 
In my broken sleep 
The scars they cut so deep 

Please ease my burden 
Please ease my pain 

Surely without war there would be no loss 
Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery 
No sleepless nights missing the dead... Oh, no more 
No more war
