I worte this song for the children of Iraq after I saw just what they had to go through everyday.

Go and Play

Tuned ½ step down
V1
B A E
A photograph of the land B
Land before time
Rugged eyes pierce the sand
Time to unwind
Through the canvas of the sun
All one by one
Covers the pain that we’ve done
We’ve just begun
Chorus1
E A C D
And I hope that we don’t throw this one away
No more time now to try this another day
Children call out to us please won’t you stay
All they want is a safe place to go and play
V2
20 hours on the way
Some start to cry
6 months to the day
Another long goodbye
On the screen signs of pain
Too much to show
This life won’t be the same
How could we know
Bridge
B D A G
They hate the way we walk alone
B D A G
They watch as we leave our home
D A C G
In the name of freedom
D A C G
We justify the cause with our guns
Chorus1
E A C D
And I hope that we don’t throw this one away
No more time now to try this another day
Children call out to us please won’t you stay
All they want is a safe place to go and play
E A C D
And I hope that we don’t throw this one away
No more time now to try this another day
Children call out to us please won’t you stay
All they want is a safe place to go and play
