Mistakes

No, not my baby
I didn’t want to tell her
You’re just a boy
I knew how she’d react
That army doesn’t know anything
Not that I could blame her

Make us proud, son
I didn’t want to tell him
You’re a man now
I knew what he’d expect
That German army won’t have a clue
Not that I could blame him

Move, men, move
I didn’t want to listen
Boy, don’t be stupid
I wanted to be a doctor
No one in this army is dying today
I wanted to save lives

He thought it was an enemy soldier
I watched a child die
He was hiding in that closet
My bullet is in his chest
It was an accident
I killed someone’s little boy

Son, put that gun down
I wanted to be a doctor
That is an order, soldier
I wanted to save lives
This won’t fix anything
My bullet is in his chest

No, not my baby…
You’re a man now…
Make us proud, son…

Make us proud…

I close my eyes
One
Last
Time
