how did we get like this?

the war is over now
so tell me how
it came to be like this?
surrounded with ruins and stones
lots of moans and groans
come from the elderly
so tell me
how did we get like this?
nothings left
nothings here
so dear
take me by the hand
take me and lead me outta here
church bells ring
and people sing
''for the war is over what a glaurious day!''
they say
this little girl had no father
thats little boy lost his mother
mothers,fathers,sisters,and brothers
all killed in war
how did we get to be like this
