"I had a talk with my Mom
Strenuous faces as she begin to hum
She said boy its good to see ya
My prayers must have been with you
And now that you're back and done
The war was never won
The war was never won"

In these city streets - Everywhere
You got to be careful
Where you move your feet
And how you part you hair
Do you real think God could forgive
This life we live

Back in the world"
