Testo I was a witness to a war Blood, Sweat & Tears

I was a witness to a war

(Blood, Sweat & Tears)

I saw a little boy today

I saw a little boy today who didn't want this fight

The other children laughed at him

It was a frightening thought

And I, I began to cry

Someone asked why

Someone asked what for

'Cause something inside of me, something inside of me

Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war

I was a witness to what happened

And I hated what I saw

I was a witness to a war, to a war

I saw a woman dressed in black

Her husband isn't coming back, she didn't want him to go

They said he had to do his chores before

Their future could grow

And I, I began to cry

Someone asked why

Someone asked what for

'Cause something inside of me, something inside of me

Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war

I was a witness to the heartbreak

That some soldier's woman bore

I was a witness to a war, to a war

I saw an ugly field today

I saw an ugly field today where only crosses could grow

A monument to modern man, and now

There's no place to go

And I, I began to cry

But no-one asked why

No-one asked what for

But something inside of me, something inside of me

Something inside of me said I was a victim of a war

I was a victim of the madness

That we should have stopped before

I was a witness to a war, to a war
