Don't Cry For Me

Don't Cry For Me

Don't cry for me sweet child
Mommy's doing what's right
I would feel so guilty
If I didn't go and fight

Don't cry for me sweet child
It would hurt me to see you that way
I'll send you all of my love
And write to you each day

Don't cry for me sweet child
I'm working for the country
Daddy can cook you dinner
And you can sleep without me

Don't cry for me sweet child
I will be home soon
I'm making lots of friends here
I tell them all about you

Don't cry for me sweet child
Iraq is not that bad
I'm still safe and whole
So please do not be sad

Don't cry for me sweet child
That bullet did not hurt
I can still fight
And injuries,

I've seen worse

Don't cry for me sweet child
It was only a bomb
But it killed my best friend
And now her child doesn't have a mom

So don't cry for me sweet child
Because I am still here
And others have lost more
People they held dear

Don't cry for me sweet child
It would be selfish and wrong
Because I saved a little boy last night
And he was all alone

Don't cry for me sweet child
You should have seen the fight
You would be proud of Mommy
I fought so well last night

Don't cry for me sweet child
Tonight we celebrate
My friends and I are having a party
They're sending me to a different base

Don't cry for me sweet child
I should be the one that's sad
To see all these lives being taken
It's enough to drive a person mad

Don't cry me sweet child
That Iraqi had a knife
It hurt a lot but I do not care
Because it saved anothers life

Don't cry for me sweet child
I did not bleed a lot
But they're sending me home tonight
With others that got shot

So don't cry for me sweet child
It won't be much longer
The doctor said with the right care
My leg will grow stronger

Don't cry for me sweet child
So the doctor was wrong
But I'll still be okay
Mommy won't be long

Don't cry for me sweet child
I'm watching over you
Mommy is now in heaven
But I did the right thing to do

Don't cry for me sweet child
I will always be there
To fight in Iraq
Was to show you that I care

Don't cry for me sweet child
I couldn't bear to see you
I don't want you to be sad
Because Mommys always with you

Don't cry for me sweet child
And remember to take your nap
I can check your homework from up here
While you sit in daddy's lap

Don't cry for me sweet child
It would be a waste of tears
Because if you keep me in your heart
Mommy's always there

Please rate now. Rate for however much you are
against the war in Iraq. And pray for the
people who are still there.
