Running as fast as I can
Cant even see where I am now
Over the soldiers and sand
This wasnt part of the plan
I never see the dawn
Although I know it comes
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know Ill kiss the
ground we walk on
If I ever watch fireflies all around
Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words that you said, son,
So put down your guns
And thats the way
the war was won
Over the edge and beyond
Over the border theres no bombs
Falling on soldiers and sand
holding their hearts in their hands
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know Ill kiss the ground we walk on
If I ever watch fireflies all around
Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words that you said, son,
As we put down our guns
And thats the way
the war was won
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know Ill kiss the
ground we walk on
If I ever see fireflies all around
Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
As I lie awake in my bed
I just cant forget what you said, son,
As we put down our guns
And thats the way
the war was won
Was won
The war was won
