W hen I sing about l ove and war
I don't really know what I'm s aying.
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
seen a lot of people p rayin'.
They pray to Allah and they p ray to the lord
and mostly they pray about l ove and war.
P ray about love and w ar
P ray about love and war
S een a lot of young men g o to war
and leave a lot of young brides waiting.
I've watched them try to ex plain it to their kids
Seen a lot of them failing.
They try to tell them and they try to explain
why daddy won't ever come home again.
D addy won't ever come h ome
D addy won't ever come h ome
I 've said a lot of things that I c an't take back
but I don't really know if I want to.
I've sung songs about love I've sung songs about war
since the backstreets of Toro nto
I sang for justice and I h it a bad chord
but I still try to sing about love and war.
S addest thing in the w hole wide world
is to break the heart of your l over.
I made a mistake and I d id it again
and we struggle to r ecover.
I sang in anger hit ano ther bad chord
but I still try to sing about l ove and war
S ing about love and w ar
S ing about love and war
l ove and war.
W hen I sing about l ove and war
I don't really know what I'm s aying.
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
seen a lot of people p rayin'.
They pray to Allah and they p ray to the Lord
and mostly they pray about l ove and war.
P ray about love and wa r
P ray about love and war
