Deserter (The Great Constantini)

[2010]
Lyrics & Music by Frank Canonica

War through the eyes of a young girl..

"I think the story is fairly self explanatory. There are no sides. There are no victories only victims… "

I have no legs
I cannot run like the other girls do..
I am a child of war,
I am a child of war..

I'm nine today
I think I want to be a nurse
They take care of girls like me,
They take care of girls like me..
I am a child of war,
I am a child of war..

In a moment
Everything changed
My Mother held me
Dust and blood
I felt her hand on my face
So close and then she was gone..
War is dumb
That's what I think
They say that I am the enemy…

I miss my mom
Do you really think we look alike..
She's not coming back,
She's not coming back..

I'm not a Jew
I don't know -what a Jew is
Are they a part of war ?
Are they a part of war ?

Thanks for the doll
I think I'll name her liberty
We are both child's of war,
We are both child's of war..
I am a child of war,
I am a child of war..
