[Verse 1]
Greetings good stranger why should you die
For a country sitting on a lie
Pull my conscience from my hindsight
I have learned from the soldier's plight

No ideal is worth a bullet fight
I heard this from my neighbor who sleeps with a knife
He once had a daughter she was about your size
I heard she went went war and when shot saw the light

[Verse 2]
Greetings good stranger I've seen the light as well
It shines through my country and so i feel compelled
To hold my conscience to what the bible tells
And all I know is I don't want to go to hell

And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt
I learned this from my father who lived and who fell
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt
He died in the war and no remorse was felt

[Chorus]x2
Greetings good stranger you seem very kind
But I have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This I can be sure of i hope you'll see the light
