Have you ever wondered what you did before
Why you never tried to stand and fight for more
Like all the people sat and waited there
Mothers waiting for their men to come back home
Counting grains of sand on dirty uniforms
And you wonder why they pray for their men
And you wonder why they pray for their men
Words of freedom never open weary head
Strength of youth dissolves with every day's must have
In front of the world's noise we'll be resistless
Clouds of grey are hanging over our nest
They'll disperse or bring the drop and save the rest
But I wonder if we'll last and stand there
And I wonder if we'll last and stand there
Come on break the silence
Come on break the silence
Come on break the silence for me
Promised lands oh they won't wait for us to come
And darkest night will hide away our secret plans
Of joyful rides and swarms of stars above
Hallelujah Christ is risen is what they say
Show them mercy while they fight in our name
But I hope I won't have to pray on their graves
And I wonder if we'll pray on their graves
