The title character of Orson Scott Card's classic, Ender's Game, is a boy who never gets to have a childhood. 'Ender's Lullaby' is for him, and for everyone else who had to fight too early in life.

lyrics

Sweetheart, all your enemies are only in your mind
you wear a soldier's weapons
but I only see a child
dream on, there's no war here tonight

Every day since you were born has been another fight
they fill your hands with battle plans
when you want a valentine
dream on, there's no war here tonight

there's no war here tonight
just a friend with a light

Every word you ever heard was telling the same lie
but now you see with your own eyes
that it's beautiful outside
dream on, there's no war here tonight
