And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears

And the word is the same for a thousand years

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, You have forsaken me

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, You have forsaken me

Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain

It was the face of a child, my child here asleep

And the soldier who smiled, the man was me

Eli Eli Lama, oh why have You forsaken me?

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, You have forsaken me

The last time I cried, the last time I cried

The last time I cried, the last time I cried

The last time I cried, the last time I cried

The last time I cried, the last time I cried
