They were children fighting in the fields
Muddy faces, bows and arrows
Pretending that their fatal wounds would heal
But that was then and this is now
[Refrain:]
Give me a reason, a reason to stay
I am lost, confused, worlds away
So give me the answer, show me the way
'Cause I'm bound to lose, feel betrayed
Now they're fighting in the killing fields
Digging trenches, drowning sorrows
No pretending now, the pain is real
Asking why and what it's for
[Refrain:]
Give me a reason, a reason to stay
I am lost, confused, worlds away
So give me the answer, show me the way
'Cause I'm bound to lose, feel betrayed
Give me the power
Give me the power
So welcome to the real world
It's a question of belief
Is it all worth dying for?
[Refrain:]
Give me a reason, a reason to stay
I am lost, confused, worlds away
So give me the answer, show me the way
'Cause I'm bound to lose, feel betrayed
Give me the power, the power to stay
I am weak, confused, worlds away
So give me the patience to rescue my faith
'Cause I'm sure to lose this crusade
Give me the power, the power to say
I am weak, worlds away
Give me the patience to rescue my faith
I'm confused, worlds away
