Little Boy Lyrics

Mama, I'm crying
Did the silver angel warn the earth
From a blue sky falling?Father, I'm frightened
What will happen if it falls again?
Will you be there to shelter me?The little dot that falls
A little boy, that's all
That's all, that's all, that's all
That's all, that's all, that's all, that's allMorning comes, I walk to school
But something's in the air
Things have changed, there's war at hand
But I'm too young to careMy home is a paradise
A jewel in the east
My family, they have seen the battles
They're praying for reliefSoon to be over
My father, he said
"The victory is ours, son
We will mourn all of our dead"I wonder what happens
When a world is at war

In order to win does
Someone else keep the score?I think of my future
On this beautiful day
How could I have known
That the end's on it's way?The sky is quiet
Just one single plane
To bring destruction
Has mankind gone insane?What happened to the land?
Metal fused with stone
Nothing remains, nothing lives
Burned through the boneThe sun touched the earth somehow
Life melts away
One city, barren wasteland
A split second blazeThe heat turned the men to shadows
The sand into glass
A master stroke of evil
In a blinding flashCome on
The sea of dead and dying
Increases by the day
For years to come we pay the price
Of science gone astray
The human race will payA little boy insane
