Love And War lyrics

When I sing about love and war I don't really know what I'm saying I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord But mostly they pray about love and war Pray about love and war I've seen a lot of young men go to war And leave a lot of young brides waiting I've watched them try to explain it to their kids And seen a lot of them failing They tried to tell them and they tried to explain Why daddy won't ever come home again. Daddy won't ever come home again I said a lot of things that I can't take back But I don't really know if I want to There've been songs about love I sang songs about war Since the backstreets of Toronto I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord But I still try to sing about love and war Sing about love and war The saddest thing in the whole wide world Is to break the heart of your lover I made a mistake and I did it again And we struggled to recover Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord But I still try to sing about love and war I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord But mostly they pray about love and war Pray about love and war.
