Sunflower Seeds

A bright yellow sunrise brings skies of blue These sunflower seeds will need planting soon But the old local farmer's not around anymore They say he willingly went off to war But what for? I don't understand A young man with a rifle that's too big to hold He's only doing what he's been told Marching for miles in the mud and the dirt He doesn't know all the people he'll hurt What's his plan? Does he understand? Now cities are falling to ash and smoke Generals cheer for the lives they broke As unflinching terror rains down from the skies The young man on the ground sees with widening eyes The blood on his hands Now does he understand? His orders are clear He must shoot on sight Anyone out on the streets that night When there in a doorway some figures rush through A family with children And an old farmer too With trembling hands the young man points his gun The farmer yells for the others to run With fear in his eyes he stands bravely in place As the young man sees his own fathers face And a bullet lands Before he understands Another sunrise brings spring once more The years are still healing the scars of war An old man returns to where he was before Standing under that same door Now he understands But his heart still bleeds He leaves behind a pocketful Of sunflower seeds
