๐ Lyrics
A digger stands at the end of the street, his rifle upside down
He died when a woman could walk alone anywhere in town
If she's not safe in years of peace, why did he go to war?
What was the purpose? What was the glory? What was he fighting for?
Yeah, sometimes this world worries me, sometimes it makes me cry
Then one day more is one day closer to the day I die
And I think ill leave it all behind, I've had enough to say
Go back to nature, live in the forest before they take it away
Now, I'm no poppa, I don't believe
I've known a poor man's day
But I'm still hungry to know the reason why I came this way
Was it to learn that I can't buy the peace I used to know
When I was just a little boy, forty years ago
But if I can learn from foolish ways, then I must surely grow
The light within is waiting for the chance to glow
And I will keep on searching until the day I know
The peace I knew as a little boy forty years ago
He died when a woman could walk alone anywhere in town
If she's not safe in years of peace, why did he go to war?
What was the purpose? What was the glory? What was he fighting for?
Yeah, sometimes this world worries me, sometimes it makes me cry
Then one day more is one day closer to the day I die
And I think ill leave it all behind, I've had enough to say
Go back to nature, live in the forest before they take it away
Now, I'm no poppa, I don't believe
I've known a poor man's day
But I'm still hungry to know the reason why I came this way
Was it to learn that I can't buy the peace I used to know
When I was just a little boy, forty years ago
But if I can learn from foolish ways, then I must surely grow
The light within is waiting for the chance to glow
And I will keep on searching until the day I know
The peace I knew as a little boy forty years ago
