In the month of June, five years ago 
that's when I came to be, 
And though I'm not yet wordly wise 
my eyes can clearly see. 
I love my mom and daddy too 
I pray my soul to keep, 
And I ask for a happy home 
When I lay me down to sleep. 

But lately mommy cries at night 
she thinks that I won't hear, 
When daddy said my name today 
he wiped away a tear. 
I know that something isn't right 
I see it in their eyes, 
Oh how I wish it wasn't so 
but the truth can't be denied. 

(Chorus)

I'm caught in the crossfire 
of a war that can't be won, 
Mom calls me her little man 
daddy's only son. 
I love them both, but I can't choose 
which one to leave behind, 
I'm caught in the crossfire 
of a world that's so unkind. 

Before you go to sleep tonight 
say a prayer for me, 
I'm one of the millions 
from a broken family. 
My wish is but a simple one 
my needs they are but few, 
The promise of a happy home 
and love to see us through. 

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
