Observing a Mother and her young son in a park.
Lyrics & Music © By Pete Dowan (SOCAN) WHY DID DADDY HAVE TO DIE ? 1st VERSE: I observed a child today Bring a tear to his mother's eyes. He said "Mommy, why is there war? Why did daddy have to die?" 2nd VERSE: "Will he die for very long? He can swing me so way up high. Mommy, why is there war? Why did daddy have to die." BRIDGE: He also said some other thing But that I couldn't hear And she could hold it back no more. She tried as I drew near The tears were washing off the smile She tried to make for me. "How can I make him understand The word eternity?" "FOREVER, NEVER...CRUSHING WORDS TO THOSE WHO COMPREHEND. I'M TRYING. TRYING. OH MY GOD WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END ?" 3rd VERSE: I don't think I could forget How I felt for that little guy. He said "Mommy, why is there war? Why did daddy have to die?"
