Our Turn to Cry

Our ancestors put down their plows
'Cause they thought they knew how
To end things with a good fight
To make things holy and right
It was their turn, it was their turn to cry.

We fought each other 'round here
Got bored and fought over there
Who here remembers the bomb
Years before Viet nam
It was their turn, it was their turn to cry.

Now here we go again
Fight from without and within
Death comes for out of the sky
Remember it's an eye for an eye
It's our turn, yeah it's our turn to cry.

Our children will inherit this wind
If we blow it again
Who will be left in the end
When we will claim we did win
It'll be their turn, yeah their turn to cry.

When will we see the light
And know that this killing's not right
How many lives must be lost
To know it's not worth the cost
It's our turn, yeah it's our turn to cry.
