My heart got lost so long ago
How that occured I cannot know
It was that war, I often think
That took our values to the brink
The young, the old, the in-between
Not one of us escaped the scene
It hollowed out each living thing
And in our lives did chaos bring
We took the test and some did win
Although too many were done in
And there were those, ones that I saw
Who ne’er returned forever more
Oh Lord I wish I could forget,
I haven’t mastered that trick yet !
