I Was A Witness Lyrics

song lyrics I Was A Witness To A War lyrics (Blood, Sweat & Tears) I saw a little boy today I saw a little boy today who didn t want this fight The other children laughed at him It was a frightening thought And I, I began to cry Someone asked why Someone asked what for Cause something inside of me, something inside of me Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war I was a witness to what happened And I hated what I saw I was a witness to a war, to a war I saw a woman dressed in black Her husband isn t coming back, she didn t want him to go They said he had to do his chores before Their future could grow And I, I began to cry Someone asked why Someone asked what for Cause something inside of me, something inside of me Something inside of me said I was a witness to a war I was a witness to the heartbreak That some soldier s woman bore I was a witness to a war, to a war I saw an ugly field today I saw an ugly field today where only crosses could grow A monument to modern man, and now There s no place to go And I, I began to cry But no-one asked why No-one asked what for But something inside of me, something inside of me Something inside of me said I was a victim of a war I was a victim of the madness That we should have stopped before I was a witness to a war, to a war song lyrics
