I can look the other way
But you may not survive today
There's a thousand mile between us anyway
I'm too far to hear you pray
What if one day I would see
You could have been me
Then we wouldn't be so far
Then I wouldn't stand for this war
But I'm safe and sound
I'm home at night
Warm and dry
Away from the fight
It's hard to imagine
This could have been me
It's hard to imagine losing everything
But what if one day I would see
You could have been me
Then we wouldn't be so far
Then I wouldn't stand for this war
What if one day the came for me
Or even worse, for my family
Then we wouldn't be so far
And then I wouldn't stand for this war.
