Lyric

All I ever wanted

Was just a quiet life

A morning cup of coffee

A cigarette at sunrise

Two simple words I wanted

Two honest truths to hear

No empty boasts or noise

No useless atmosphere

I only wished to live

A peaceful, steady life

A life that’s filled with kindness

And love that feels alive

I never chose the war

That stains the hearts with bleeding

The war instead chose me

To disappear in grieving

I never chose the war

That poisons hearts within

The war instead chose me

To lose my peace again

All I ever wanted

Was just a simple day

A smile to greet the evening

A touch at dawn’s first ray

I wished that every morning

I’d see the rising sun

Let its golden light fall gently

On the soul of everyone

I dreamed of swimming softly

In waters calm and wide

Without the raging storms

That drown the joy inside

I never chose the war

That tears our lives apart

The war instead chose me

To lose a fragile heart

I never chose the war

That poisons hearts within

The war instead chose me

To lose my peace again

I never chose the role

On this earthly stage of fate

Life itself decided

What part I must create

I never chose the war

That tears our lives apart

The war instead chose me

To vanish in the dust

I never chose the war

That poisons hearts within

The war instead chose me

To lose my peace again

I never chose the role

In this play of flesh and bone

Life itself decided

The destiny I must own
