A soldier's cry....
Heal me when I am home......

I just loved my country
never wanted a fight or war,
tried to convince the one on other side
I am as human as you are

Now when I am back home
I have this strange feeling,
riots, mobs, hatred everywhere
cannot find a place for healing

confused wandering here and there
can't find a heart that loves me,
can't find an eye that's happy to see me
everybody looks like the enemy

When I see people closely
I realize they are my own,
wearing variety of masks to hide something
their real faces are not to be shown

please remove the masks of hatred
let us not fight for small things,
this hatred will kill us all
let peace and humanity spread its wings....

heal me when I am home....
