He sits All alone at the edge of the park Arrives when its light leaves when its dark Lost deep in thought of days gone by When his faded eyes were as Blue as the Sky When he and his friends went off to fight With God on their side they knew they were right. None of his friends came back Alive He wonders how he managed to survive Life Does go on, the years pass by Every day theres a Tear in his eye As he remembers his pals who perished out there Is He the only person left to care. He lives all alone his family have gone Very soon he'll join them as one They fought in a war defeated their foe He ponders this point and needs to know Was God on the side of their enemy too
