Battle at dawn. The sun and smoke.
Nobody knows what will happen to him.
What will be in the young minds tomorrow?
Some are hopeful, but others are scared.
Refrain 1:
Guelder rose bent its branches.
Mama, who did we pray to?
How many more of your children
The war that is not yours will take?
Became parents, daughters and sons.
Still seeing colorful dreams.
And kissed the hands of the lie,
Gave up their days for the quiet nights.
Refrain 1.
It was so good there once.
Where there were no sweat, and no tears.
Only there was no use in that,
I can’t take it, how will you?!
Refrain 2:
Guelder rose bent its branches.
Mama, we prayed to the wrong ones!
How many more of your children
The war that is not yours will take?
