Home and done it's just begun

His heart weighs more, more than it ever did before

What has he done? God help my son

D Em

Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up

No sugar is enough to bring sweetness to his cup

D Em Bm

I know sorrow tastes the same on any tongue

How was I to feel it

When a gun was in my hands

C G

And I'd waited for so long

How was I to see straight

In the dust and blinding sun

C G D

Just a pair of boots on the ground

On the screen the young men die

D Em

The children cry in the rubble of their lives

What has he done? God help my son

D Em

Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up

The volume pumped right up is not enough to drown it out

D Em Bm

I hear Mama sounds the same in any tongue

How am I to see you

When my faith stands in the way

C G

And the wailing is long done

How am I to know you

With a joystick in my hand

When the call to arms has come

[Solo]
