I know you say it's okay

I know you say you're coming back some day

You wanna help the people

I really don't wanna see you go

Granny and mom were so, so brave

But me and Dust don't really feel the same

Doesn't anybody care what we say

I know America is not safe



But I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war



I've heard about the war on TV

Don't really know what those big words mean

I know a lot of people seem to think

That you're doing the right thing

But me and Dust don't care what they think

We understand you want to change some things

It isn't fair that often what I can't see

That they can take my dad from me



But I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war



Oh, there must be another way

Somehow, some way you've gotta sta

On a great big wall I don't wanna see your name

(Oh, no, no)

If they ask me then I'll say (Don't take him)



Oh, I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war



But I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war

I don't wanna see my daddy go to war

Oh no no no

Oh no no
