Caught In The CrossfireRhonda Vincent
In the month [Em]of June, five years ago that's when I came to be[G]
and though[Am] I'm not yet worldly wise my eyes can clearly see[B7]
I lo[Em]ve my mom and daddy too I pray my soul to keep[G]
And I [Am]ask for a happy home When I lay me down to sleep [B7][Em]
But lately mommy cries at night she thinks that I won't hear
When daddy said my name today he wiped away a tear
I know that something isn't right I see it in their eyes
Oh how I wish it wasn't so but the truth can't be denied
Chorus:
I'm caugh[Em]t in the crossfire of a war that can't be [G]won
M[Am]om calls me her little man daddy's only son [B7]
I l[Em]ove them both, but I can't choose which one to leave behind [G]
I'm caug[Am]ht in the crossfire of a world that's so u[B7]nkind. [Em]
Before you go to sleep tonight say a prayer for me
I'm one of the millions from a broken family.
My wish is but a simple one my needs they are but few
the promise of a happy home and love to see us through
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
I l[Em]ove them both, but I can't choose which one to leave behind[G]
I'm caug[Am]ht in the crossfire of a world that'[B7]s so unkind.
