After the war is over, and all the fighting is done
Soldiers take home their dreams and their fears
No reconciliation for those who dressed up in arms
No one will see their hopes and their tears

Show me a cause that's worth fighting for
There's only sadness after the war

After the smoke has risen,
trenches remain in the sun
They've become graves for too many souls

Show me a cause that's worth fighting for
There's only sadness after the war
Oh yeah, after the war

After the war is over, and all the damage is done
Show me a battle that's worth praying for
There's only misery and nothing more
Show me a cause that's worth fighting for
There's only sadness after the war

After the war

I saw the soldier coming back from the battlefield
He was tired of carrying his shield
A worried look darkened his face,
the heat of the battle left its trace
His shoes were dirty, his clothes were torn
And under his arm the helmet he'd worn
I asked him why he looked so sad, and to tell me
about the times he'd had
Though he did a good job he said,
oh he wasn't satisfied

Was sent to kill so many men, but so hard he tried
To look the enemy in the eye,
and find out if he too asked why
This war had to cost so many lives, leaving behind
all those kids and wives
To look the enemy in the eyes.....
