We'll know when to stop fighting –
I'm not the soldier I used to be;

Maybe, I'm not week enough to wave the white flag, just yet –

I can start trying now.

As long as there is a fight left in you ten there is one left in me.

We can get back into the war zone,
We'll know when to stop fighting.
There are always children on the battlefield –
How can we tell if the battle is lost or won?
