Hello Lord

[Verse 1]
I don't want to hurt nobody
I don't want to kill no one
I just wanna see my baby
Whose face is like the sun
I'm so far from Carolina
But I still can see her smile
And when I dream, it almost seems
Like I've been with her awhile

[Chorus]
Hello Lord, how's your children?
They lay still fuss and fight?
With all these guns we've given them
And ship them off to fight
I don't know if you've noticed
It's become an awful sight
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?

[Verse 2]
I don't know what I'm doing here
I'm not sure if this is right
All's I know, I'm a soldier boy
And a soldier's job's to fight
Here I lay in this cruel sun
I've never seen such smoke and fire
And I've never seen so much blood
Lying here in the mire

[Chorus]
Hello Lord, how's your children?
Do they still fuss and fight?
With all these guns we've given them
And then send 'em off to fight
I don't know if you've noticed
It's become an awful sight
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?

[Bridge]
Please, please, come for me
Please, oh please, come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me

[Chorus]
Hello Lord, how's your children?
Do they still fuss and fight
With all them guns we've given them
And send them off to fight
I don't know if you've noticed
It's become an awful sight
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?
