Tony Norwell – Dear Momma.... lyrics

Dear Momma we're here, arrived safely today,
The place is so hot here ? I'm melting away.
The people are so scared ? thought we're here to stop that ?
But we don't think they like us ?I don't know where it's at.

I've got to be honest ? I'll tell you no lies ?
We're all scared half shitless and there's fear in the eyes.
Of all of the people we thought would be so glad
To see us arrive here ? and not see us as bad!
The reasons they gave us for starting this war
Don't seem like they're good ones to me anymore.

Dear momma ? we're here - right in the thick
Of all of the action ? it's making me sick
To see so much bloodshed ? I thought we're here to stop that
I don't think they like us ?I don't know where it's at!

Dear momma ? we shot at some people today
We were all told to do it but there were kids out to play.
And do you know momma some kids here were hit
By our bullets and rockets ? oh I don't understand it.

Dear momma ? we were told they wanted us here
But their faces are drawn and they're full up with fear.
They seem to hate us as much as the ones
Who are hurting them daily with their hate and their guns.
