Composition & Lyrics - Mreenal Mams

lyrics

Burning A Friend

He stepped into, the field today
Though hands on trigger, he really did pray
“Political enemy, but friends”, he’d say
Didn’t know they’d shoot his life away

Full of courage he’d shouted, “Now we attack”
Outnumbered he was, but he didn’t turn back
Though wounded and bleeding, but he didn’t slack
Not spirit only body, their bullets could crack

Now he is laid down here, honoured and famed
Many bursaries in future may after him be named
Soon I’ll be called up for burning a friend
I’ll sigh and regret, ‘The war didn’t end’.

I’ve started to wonder, is it sorrow or fear
That draws in my eye, a drop of tear
The war is to be won, the message is clear
In the midst of a war, our lives ain’t worth dear

Tomorrow I’ll step into the field again
I fear their bullets won’t go in vain
A bullet for me, a soldier may train
My blood may be spilt in the barren terrain

I could be laid down here, tomorrow like this
A sorrowful friend may shed a tear of his
Someone may be called up for burning a friend
But I hope he sighs, ‘The war did end’.
