- Key G
I watched the scene
Starting to unfold
Tryin to disbelieve
The news I was being toldThey were running for thier lives
Shooting at the sky
They didn't know whyOh what is freedom
For the price we have to pay
Another 3rd world country
Tries to take it all awayBut the heros stand in pride
A nation won't divide
They didn't know whyPicking up the pieces
Standing where they fell
The heroes and their brothers
Pay heed the tolling bellSome will never see Mama again
She asked why'd they have to die
She didn't know whyNo they'll never see home again
Oh why'd they have to die
They didn't know why--------
