They Fight

Why do they Fight?
My soul cried in vain
How do I hide my fright?

Sometimes I wish it would bring light
Everyone has embraced pain
Why do they fight?

Many suffered from sleepless night
Afraid to see these soldiers gain
How do I hide my fright?

What can we do, what is our plight?
My heart is broken in twain
Why do they fight?

Just when I ponder if they are right
They lost their heart and brain
How do I hide my fright?

Countless innocents strive with might
Sorrow is filled like a train
Why do they fight?
How do I hide my fright?
