Lyrics: 
Greetings good stranger why should you die 
For a country sitting on a lie 
Pull my conscience from my hindsight 
I have learned from the soldier's plight 

No ideal is worth a bullet fight 
I heard this from my neighbor who sleeps with a knife 
He once had a daughter she was about your size 
I heard she went went war and when shot saw the light 

Greetings good stranger i've seen the light as well 
It shines through my country and so i feel compelled 
To hold my conscience to what the bible tells 
And all i know is i don't want to go to hell 

And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt 
I learned this from my father who lived and who fell 
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt 
He died in the war and no remorse was felt 

Greetings good stranger you seem very kind 
But i have learned from the soldier's plight 
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives 
This i can be sure of i hope you'll see the light
