Little boys know war.

Little girls know love and pain,
gentle kisses in summer rain,
where they're going,
and from where they came.

Little boys know war.

Little girls know truth and fear,
a cold smile, a warm tear,
how much it cost.
to get through the year.

Little boys know war.

Little girls know how to poison, how to heal,
how to cry, how to steal,
how to ignore, and how to feel...

how to give life,
and how to kill.

Little boys know war.
