Well a woman said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where ya goin young man

Said I`m gonna fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said the sun will never

Hurt you never harm anyone
But you must realize
When you try to stare it down
It`ll win in the end

You will burn your eyes
You will burn them
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die

Well I wonder who will
Walk with me
When I get to heaven
As a boy I was young once

Yeah I was tough
Sailin` on uncle Sam`s boat
Yeah I could kill the enemy
On a dark foreign street

But I could not vote
Well now you walked by me
You won`t talk to me
Saying his is my fate

But everytime you
Walk the streets boy
Don`t you know you`re made to see
It`s you they hate

It`s you yeah
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
Well I wonder who will

Walk with me
When I get to heaven
I hope I get there
Seen a million places

Seen a million faces die
Well I wonder who will
Walk with me
When I get there

See this old woman
Sitting next to me
She`s been there for a
Long long time

Yeah when I fell she picked me up
And when I cry she wipes my tears
I thank God she`s mine
Yeah when I leave this world

I won`t have anything
But her love for me
Because the man who lived here
He made me hate myself

So just let us be boy
Won`t you let it all be yeah ah
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die

Seen a million mothers cry
Seen a billion brothers dyin`
But I wonder who will walk with me
When I get there

When I get to heaven
When I get there
When I get to heaven
