Before the Battle

I wonder what it would be like
when I go to war
How would it feel to hold a gun?
To fight in the dark of night?

I wonder if I will come home
or stay there and die?

I can't back out now
they've told me
I'm going in

I wonder what the war will be like?
Will I come home alive?
Or stay there and die?
