Death in Baghdad

My heart is heavy,
My body is full of tears!

I saw the armless child,
The pregnant mother dead,
The headless father,
His brother�s mangled body.

My heart is heavy,
My body is full of tears!

I saw the black U.S. soldier,
His bullet-riddled body.
I saw the brown U.S. soldier
In blood-soaked fatigues.

I saw the poor white soldier
Burned-out, all wary, and dusty.

My heart is heavy,
My body is full of tears!

In Baghdad's darkest night
Voices became stronger,
Stronger, resonating
All over the Arab lands:

"Bush did it!"

And yes, he did it.
He created all this hell.

My heart is heavy,
My body is full of tears!
