In my life I took so many chances
I always said I wasn't scared to die
Now I'm here, down in the trenches
Looking death between the eyes
Good times and not so good
I had it all - And I remember like it was today
Now I will have
To leave it all behind
Oh Lord! Tell me what to do
God have mercy on me
Oh Lord! Show me the way
Give me a chance to carry on
Green grass, springtime, I had a dog once
My mother's eyes, I broke my leg - Saw the world
I made love - Joined the army, I got shot
Hard times and struggle and arguments
Who won? It doesn't really matter now -
Now there's no one who can help me out
Oh Lord! Tell me what to do
God have mercy on me
Oh Lord! Show mw the way
Give me the chance to carry on
Down in the trenches
