I Was A Witness To A War Lyrics

I Was A Witness To A War lyrics

(Blood, Sweat & Tears)



I saw a little boy today



I saw a little boy today who didn't want this fight



The other children laughed at him 



It was a frightening thought



And I, I began to cry



Someone asked why



Someone asked what for



'Cause something inside of me, something inside of me



Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war



I was a witness to what happened



And I hated what I saw



I was a witness to a war, to a war







I saw a woman dressed in black



Her husband isn't coming back, she didn't want him to go



They said he had to do his chores before



Their future could grow



And I, I began to cry



Someone asked why



Someone asked what for



'Cause something inside of me, something inside of me



Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war



I was a witness to the heartbreak



That some soldier's woman bore



I was a witness to a war, to a war







I saw an ugly field today



I saw an ugly field today where only crosses could grow



A monument to modern man, and now



There's no place to go



And I, I began to cry



But no-one asked why



No-one asked what for



But something inside of me, something inside of me



Something inside of me said I was a victim of a war



I was a victim of the madness



That we should have stopped before



I was a witness to a war, to a war
