Oh Mother are you sleepin'?
Did you pray for me tonight?
Cause I'm alone here on this front line
Hoping I might get back home alive.
I see the bullets flyin',
And I feel the bombs explode.
I close my eyes and pull this trigger
And kill these people I don't even know.

Got 60 pounds upon my back.

Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
Oh, I wish that I could tell you
I was safe away from harm,
But everytime I close my eyes
Mama, I wish you could hold me in your arms.
And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
