Fighting On My Own, by Lara Vujasevic

Lara Vujasevic – Fighting on my Own

Somebody said go and join the war
My mother had to show me the door
Holding a gun in my hand
Am I strong enough to kill a man
Now the enemy is coming and I have just got to defend myself

I am in the war now fighting for Britain
Too scared to fight now I don’t want to be here
I am giving it my all
I’m scared that I won’t come home
Fighting this war on my own

They brought in some new soldiers
There’s one called Jack we have grown closer
Come on some bombs all around, Jack’s fallen to the ground

I am in the war now, fighting for Britain
Too scared to fight now I don’t want to be here
I am giving it my all
I am scared that I won’t come home
Fighting this war on my own

So far away, but still so near, fighting this war with fear
I don’t know what to do but cry 
I just watched my best friend die

I am in the war now fighting for Britain
I am giving it my all, am scared that I won’t come home
Fighting this war on my own

I am in the war now, fighting for Britain
Too scared to fight now, I don’t want to be here
I am giving it my all but am scared that I won’t come home
Fighting this war on my own

So far away but still so near, I know my future will be clear
War has come to an end
