lyrics

The Cost Of War
(Words and Music by Mike Ogletree)

Chorus
Now there’s the cost of war on The Children
And the cost of war on their emotions
Oh the cost of war on their future
The cost of war, it’s a price they pay.

Verse 1
Oh the cost of war can make me cry
When I think of a place where the children die
Traumatized and abandoned to their fate
We can speculate
Or we can educate

Rpt. Chorus

Verse 2
If ever conflict rears its ugly head
Let compassion bring in peace instead
You’ve got the power in your hands
Gonna use it now
Don’t abuse it now

Chorus 3
Because the cost of war weighs on the children
The cost of war on their emotions
And there’s the cost of war on their future
The cost of war, it’s a price they pay.
Rpt Chorus

Rap
Oh the cost of war is a terrible t’ing
In zones of conflict dreams are dying
A refugee soldier a boy and a girl
Violated rights in a violent world.
