Have you thought about all the people
Who have died for their various cause
Was it something that they truly
Believed in, or did they just go along
Did they see the truth like I see it in your face
Or was it that they found their truth a frightening place

Some die for property
Some die for love
But nobody that I know personally
Has ever come back again
So if I die for humanity
Or if I die for your flag
It's for my own reasons
Thank you very much

What is there of value
That's worth a human life
Maybe all that hatred you're feeling
Is really for yourself
But if you've ever cared for someone
Or someone's ever cared for you
Try to think about that look in their eyes
Try to think about you
