Take Me to the Battlefield

The movements of this weary cradle Aren’t as strong as your loving cuddles To send me high into the sky They can only soothe me, so I forget to cry Come to me, sit down and rest I wanna tell you a secret about my thirst I’m so thirsty. Oh yes, father But surely you know better, no not for water Take me to the battlefield I need no armor or sword Only defending you Is what I’m truly thirsty for Just like Uncle Abbas For you I want to fight But please hurry up Because time is so tight Take me to the battlefield Take me to the battlefield I was dreaming the other night I was grown up and had my uncle’s height I had been at your service my entire life But now I see even six months could also be enough Let me do something for you my lonely father Like the sea or like a drop, it doesn’t matter There’s still one left for you - a brave, invincible soldier I can carry a heavy weight even though I have small shoulders Take me to the battlefield I need no armor or sword Only defending you Is what I’m truly thirsty for Just like Uncle Abbas For you I want to fight But please hurry up Because time is so tight Take me to the battlefield Take me to the battlefield Take me to the battlefield
