Please Do Not Take My Son

He would not want to hurt anyone
Excuse him from your world strategy
I ask you please do not take my son

When enemies come he doesn't run
He ignores them and sits passively
He would not want to hurt anyone

Don't put in his hands a useless gun
Don't make him a quick casualty
I ask you please do not take my son

His young life is only just begun
Too soon to be a fatality
He would not want to hurt anyone

In peace let him live 'til life is done
War should not be his reality
I ask you please do not take my son

He would not help the war to be won
Leave him at home with his family
He would not want to hurt anyone
I ask that you do not take my son
