Tomorrow We Fight

Tonight we rest
Tomorrow we fight
The soldier said with a smile
He pretended to happiness
Pretended to hope
But he knew they were in for a trial

Which war was this?
Ask me if it matters
For all wars leave people
Wounded and blown to tatters

You can fight in Ukraine
Or on the Gazan front
Or Yemen might be your foe
Death comes with battle
Death comes with war
Wherever it is you go

Whatever the war
And whichever the side
Death is all around
And the smile of a soldier
As he goes off to war
Is soon turned to a frown
