  • Ah, oh
    Ah, oh, oh, oh, ooh
    Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
    Mmm

    Oh, Little Billy's got a gun
    Little Billy's having fun
    Shooting bottles on the wall
    Dreams the hero come home from war

    Is this real?
    Is this make believe?
    You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
    Like a train blowing full steam ahead
    Can't hear what you're saying
    With everybody screaming

    I'm afraid, can't lie
    Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
    In the dark, be the light
    Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
    To believe is blind
    Don't sacrifice another child
    It's not black and white
    'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

    The truth might not be crystal clear
    But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
    Oh, we pray to God and hope he's listening
    Then a man with a gun brings the demons in

    Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
    But is it really so hard
    To do what we know is right?
    To protect the things
    That we hold dear
    Must we do things that we should never forgive?

    I'm afraid, can't lie
    Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
    In the dark, be the light
    Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
    To believe is blind
    Don't sacrifice another child
    It's not black and white
    'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes"

    Run and hide
    Don't ask why
    Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
    When it's too late to untwist the knife
    How do we face hatred with the love inside us?

    I'm afraid, can't lie
    Momma said, "Baby, don't you cry
    In the dark, be the light
    Don't let go, baby, hold on tight
    To believe is blind
    Don't sacrifice another child
    It's not black and white
    'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes" Writer/s: David Campbell, David J. Matthews, Rob Evans
