Lipbone Redding - Child of War Lyrics

I'm just a boy but I'm a soldier on the border
My country's endless war has scattered
All her sons and daughters
My mother and my father
I've not heard from them at all
The days pass and the nights are long
There is so much that I'm not meant to understand
Why these villages must burn
Why this weapon's in my hand
Let the river on the rock keep talking
It's telling me
That I'm more, more, more...
Than a child of war
Whoo
(More more more than a child of war)
Whoo whoo
(More more more than a child of war)
Whoo whoo
(More more more than a child of war)
Whoo whoo
More more more
All you masterminds of hatred
You must be mistaken
To think I won't remember
That your children won't awaken
Let the river on the rock keep talking
It's telling me
That I'm more, more, more...
Than a child of war
Whoo
(More more more than a child of war)
Whoo whoo
(More more more than a child of war)
Whoo whoo
(More more more than a child of war)
Whoo whoo
More more more
Tonight I sing for you
I hope my song is sweet and clear
Tonight I sing for all of those who could not make it here
If the morning comes for me
Tell them all
That I'm gone, gone, gone
Down another road
Whoo whoo
Gone, gone, gone
Down another road
Whoo whoo
Gone, gone, gone
Down another road
Whoo whoo
Gone gone gone
More, more, more
Than a child of war
