LYRICS:
Taken from your home.
Not even seven years old.
You grab ahold of your mother and father's hands.
And you follow a strange man dressed in a uniform.
And upon his arm is a symbol that you've never seen before.

You said, "Mommy, Daddy, where are we goin'?"
You could not understand the terror in your parents eyes.
You have innocence pumping through your blood.
And we all know you could have done this world...
This world so much good.

Greeted by barbed wire,
And smoke in the sky.
The harsh buzz of electrical fences,
Forced to wonder why.
You follow Mommy and Daddy single file.
When the same strange man, he shouts a command, so hostile.

He says, "Women and children to the right.
"Men and teenage boys to the other side."
Forced to say your rushed goodbyes and last amends.
Now you know this is how it all ends.

And you grab ahold of you mother and she pulls you in real close.
And she bends down and she whispers that she's always loved you the most.
And you don't let go of her arm as you're forced to walk away.
Led to an ominous building that will take your living breath away.

You said, "Mommy, Mommy, where are we going?"
You could not understand the terror in your mother's eyes.
You have innocence pumping through your blood.
And we all know you could have done this world...
This world so much good.
