When will we understand

The value of a single man?

How many more must down their lives

Until we feel satisfied

With the tears that's been shed

And the wounds that have bled

For the sake of our own greed

For the stuff we don't need?

When will we understand

The value of a single man?

How many hearts have been lost

In this cold winter's frost

That melts everything it touches

Ripping life from their clutches?

When will we understand

The value of a single man?

How can we continue on

Knowing what we did was wrong

Taking way their family

All for the sake of some country?

When will we understand 

The value of a single man?
