I know you say it's okay   I know you say you're coming back some day   You wanna help the people   I really don't wanna see you go   Granny and mom were so, so brave   But me and Dust don't really feel the same   Doesn't anybody care what we say   I know America is not safe      But I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war      I've heard about the war on TV   Don't really know what those big words mean   I know a lot of people seem to think   That you're doing the right thing   But me and Dust don't care what they think   We understand you want to change some things   It isn't fair that often what I can't see   That they can take my dad from me      But I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war      Oh, there must be another way   Somehow, some way you've gotta sta   On a great big wall I don't wanna see your name   (Oh, no, no)   If they ask me then I'll say (Don't take him)      Oh, I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war      But I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war, go to war   I don't wanna see my daddy go to war   Oh no no no   Oh no no
