|
My, my Kuiama, she came in the morning |
|
She smiled but the tears on her little face |
|
Showed the pain that had been in that far off place |
|
So sad, treated so bad |
|
My, my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin' |
|
To say how your Ma and your Pa passed away |
|
And they left you to wander in the ruin and decay |
|
Real mean, that bullet machine |
|
See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles |
|
Is a long, long way and you're here today |
|
And you won't go back so you might say |
|
"Hello, how do you do?" |
|
Kuia stop your cryin', there's no bombs a fallin' |
|
No horsemen in the night are ridin' |
|
Through your dreams and tearing at your life |
|
Baby goodnight |
|
No more silver rain will hit your ground |
|
And no more guns will sound |
|
No more life be drowned |
|
No more trenches where the soldiers lie |
|
And no more people die |
|
Beneath that big black sky |
|
Wake up Kuiama, I got somethin' to tell you |
|
It's just that I mean, well that is to say |
|
That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again |
|
For you, I must be true |
|
Kuia in this country, they got rules with no reason |
|
They teach you to kill and they send you away |
|
With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay |
|
So cool, that no mercy tool |
|
Kuia please believe me, I just couldn't help myself |
|
I wanted to run but they gave me a gun |
|
And they told me the duty I owed to my fatherland |
|
I made my stand |
|
Kuia I just shot them, I just blew their heads open |
|
And I heard them scream in their agony |
|
Kuiama she waits there for me |
|
True blue, you saw it through |
