I Won'T Fight Again Poem by Terry Stewart

I was there when the war was new
I fought and killed as I was trained to do
I even bled a time or two
But I won't fight again

I saw so many of us die
I swear I heard their mommas cry
And some of them they were friends of mine
No I won't fight again

God bless the ones who fought and died
And God help the family's that still cry
Let's never forget the blessed few
That made it back home to me and you

War is just a game they play
Where no one wins in the end they say
But this I swear till my dyeing day
I won't fight again

I did my part or so I'm told
I stood and fought till my blood ran cold
But now it's time that I grow old
No I won't fight again

God bless the ones who fought and died
And God help the family's that still cry
Let's never forget the blessed few
That made it back home to me and you

War will come and war will go
Men will die as it takes its toll
That's the cost for peace I know
But I won't fight again

I've seen what war can really do
To even those that make it through
I've been there a time or two
No I won't fight again

God bless them one one and all
For their the ones that make our country strong
If not for them where would we be
If not for them would we be free

If not for them where would we be
If not for them would we be free
