Just a Boy

I was
oooh
I was just a boy
when I was thrown into the line
to beat back the hun
I was just a boy
oooh
I was just a boy
who wanted to be fed
get married
and own a little land
oooo
that was my dream
ooooo
when I was sent over the top
into the fire
oooo
the raging fire

and who am I now
and who am I now
to you
am I a ghost
am I just a ghost
you once knew
am I just another name to forget
ooooo
another name to forget

I was
oooh
I was just a boy
who never wanted to harm anyone
but I fell broken
and bloody
on a little piece of land
of my own
oooo
a little piece of land
of my own
in the fire
oooo
the raging fire

and who am I now
and who am I now
to you
am I a ghost
am I just a ghost
you once knew
am I just another name to forget
ooooo
just another name to forget

ooooh
(it seems hard to believe
that all of us at rest
here in this field of crosses
once lived
laughed
and loved
like we did)
oh yeah we did
so much
before the fire
the raging fire
ooooh
and who am I now
and who am I now
to you
am I a ghost
am I just a ghost
that you once knew
am I just another name to forget
ooooo
just another name to forget

oooh
I was
oooh
I was just a boy
when I was thrown into the line
to beat back the hun
