I watch molly as she cries,
Saddened tears fall from her eyes,
As inside she slowly dies,
We need Charlie here.
I watch my mother as she lies,
In her bed, as she tries,
To ask the question: just plain 'why?'
We need charlie here.
If I'd been braver, stronger, better,
If I hadn't lied, If i'd just written a letter,
instead of signing up for war.
We need charlie here.
And even though I haven't cried.
I'm still burning up inside.
It should be me, up in the skies.
I need charlie here.
