[Verse 1]
And I often sigh
I often wonder why
I'm still here and I still cry

[Chorus]
And I often cry
I often spill a tear
Over those not here
But still they are so near

[Verse 2]
Please ease my burden

[Chorus]
And I still remember
A memory and I weep
In my broken sleep
The scars they cut so deep

[Bridge]
Please ease my burden
Please ease my pain

[Outro]
Surely without war there would be no loss
Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery
No sleepless nights missing the dead... Oh, no more
No more war
