My dad was a man of war
He says some day son you will go forth
And you'll fly out and over the sea
And some day you'll be just like me

And I said no dad I don't believe I can be what you want
But I'm afraid that one day you'll find yourself lost
This misguided path you're so desperate to leave
He said you're no son of mine unless you follow me
Please lay down your gun

We'll all fight for love
And the whole human race and the ones who got lost
And we'll all find our peace
We find it in ourselves
Yet I think that I

My dad was a man for sure
But he left on this God awful course
He said some day son you'll fight for peace
But it won't be what you want it to be

And I said no dad I don't believe I can be what you want
But I'm afraid that one day you'll find yourself lost
This misguided path you're so desperate to leave
He said you're no son of mine unless you follow me
Please lay down your gun

We'll all fight for love
And the whole human race and the ones who got lost
And we'll all find our peace
We find it in ourselves

Yet I think that you should go home
Cause you're sounding kinda drunk
And I don't know
But you are scaring me and mom
Dad please just go

Lay down your gun
We'll all fight for love
And the whole human race and the ones who got lost
And we'll all find our peace
We find it in ourselves
Please lay down your gun

We'll all fight for love
And the whole human race and the ones who got lost
And we'll all find our peace
We find it in ourselves
And we find it in ourselves
Dad
