THEY KILLED HIM WITH A BOMB

DEAR GOD, I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY,
    CAUSE I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN.
MY DADDY WENT TO WORK THIS MORNING,
    AND NOW THEY SAY HE'S NOT COMING HOME.
MY DADDY WORKED IN BIRMINGHAM,
    AS A POLICEMAN ON A BEAT,
BUT HE WAS AT HIS EXTRA JOB,
    TO GET MORE MONEY SO OUR ENDS WOULD MEET.
THEY TELL ME GOD, THAT A BOMB WENT OFF,
    AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND,
THESE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW MY DADDY,
    HE WAS A KIND, AND A REAL GOOD MAN.
GOD, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES,
    MAYBE WHEN I'M OLDER I'LL FIGURE IT OUT,
BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT KILLING MY DADDY,
    IS WHAT "YOUR" ARMY IS ALL ABOUT.
I KNOW MY DADDY LOVED YOU,
    AND I KNOW HE LOVED ME AND MOM,
BUT HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT,
    KNOWING THEY KILLED HIM WITH A BOMB?
DEAR GOD, THEY THINK THEY'RE SAVING BABIES,
    BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BABIES JUST LIKE ME,
GOD, I'M NOT EVEN CONCEIVED YET,
    AND WITH HIM GONE, I'LL NEVER BE.
