Eb
Greetings good stranger I've seen the light as well

Ab
And all I know is I don't want to go to hell
Eb
And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt

I learned this from my father who lived and who fell
Eb
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt
Ab
He died in the war and no remorse was felt

Lyrics:
Greetings good stranger why should you die
For a country sitting on a lie
Pull my conscience from my hindsight
I have learned from the soldier's plight
No ideal is worth a bullet fight
I heard this from my neighbor who sleeps with a knife
He once had a daughter she was about your size
I heard she went went war and when shot saw the light
Greetings good stranger i've seen the light as well
It shines through my country and so i feel compelled
To hold my conscience to what the bible tells
And all i know is i don't want to go to hell
And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt
I learned this from my father who lived and who fell
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt
He died in the war and no remorse was felt
Greetings good stranger you seem very kind
But i have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This i can be sure of i hope you'll see the light
