Em G7
In the month of June five years ago that's when I came to be
Am B7
Though I'm not yet worldly wise my eyes can clearly see
Em G7
I love my mom and daddy too I pray my soul to keep
Am B7 Em
I ask for a happy home when I lay me down to sleep
G7
Lately mommy cries at night she thinks that I won't hear
B7
When daddy said my name today he wiped away a tear
Em G7
I know that something isn't right I see it in their eyes
Am B7 Em
Oh how I wish it wasn't so but the truth can't be denied
G7
I'm caught in the crossfire of a war that can't be won
Am B7
Mom calls me her little man daddy's only son
Em G7
I love ‘em both but I can't choose which one to leave behind
Am B7 Em
I'm caught in the crossfire of a world that's so unkind
G7
Before you go to sleep tonight say a prayer for me
Am B7
I'm one of the millions from a broken family
Em G7
My wish is but a simple one my needs they are but few
Am B7 Em
The promise of a happy home and love to see us through
G7
I'm caught in the crossfire of a war that can't be won
Am B7
Mom calls me her little man daddy's only son
Em G7
I love ‘em both but I can't choose which one to leave behind
Am B7 Em
I'm caught in the crossfire of a world that's so unkind
G7
I'm caught in the crossfire of a war that can't be won
Am B7
Mom calls me her little man daddy's only son
Em G7
I love ‘em both but I can't choose which one to leave behind
Am B7 Em
I'm caught in the crossfire of a world that's so unkind
G7
I love ’em both but I can't choose which one to leave behind
Am B7 Em
I'm caught in the crossfire of a world that's so unkind
