Kuiama

My-my Kuiama, she came in the morning
 She smiled but the tears on her little face
 Showed the pain that had been in that far-off place
 So sad, treated so bad
 ♪
 My-my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin'
 To say how your ma and your pa' passed away
 And they left you to wander the ruin and decay
 Real mean, that bullet machine
 ♪
 See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles
 Is a long, long way and you're here today
 And you won't go back so you might say
 Hello, how do you do? (do)
 ♪
 Kuia, stop your cryin', there's no bombs a-fallin'
 No horsemen in the night a-ridin' through your dreams
 And tearing at your life (life)
 Baby goodnight (night)
 ♪
 No more silver rain will hit your ground
 And no more guns will sound
 And no more life be drowned
 No more trenches where the soldiers lie
 And no more people die
 Beneath that big black sky (sky)
 ♪
 Wake up Kuiama, I got somethin' to tell you
 It's just that I mean, well, that is to say
 That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again
 For you, I must be true
 ♪
 Kuia, in this country, they got rules with no reason
 They teach you to kill and they send you away
 With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay
 So cool, that no mercy tool
 ♪
 Kuia, please believe me? I just couldn't help myself
 I wanted to run but they gave me a gun
 And they told me the duty I owed to my Fatherland
 I made my stand
 Kuia, I just shot them, I just blew their heads open
 And I heard them scream in their agony
 Kuiama, she waits there for me
 True blue, you saw it through
