Dead Babies from Fireside Tales by Roger Lehman
I wrote this song about "Operation Iraqi Freedom" in 2003. Every dead soldier was once somebody's baby.

Lyrics
DEAD BABIES
He was once a baby, cradled in his mother's arms,
She gave life to him, and protected him from harm,
She was once a child, with penny candies in her hand,
Now their bodies lie together, on the blood soaked desert sand,
Their mothers are now childless, happiness no more,
Mothers of dead babies, killed by the greed of war,
War is just about real estate, nothing more, nothing less,
Anyone who tries to tell you different, knows not what he says,
There is never any good reason, not one single one,
For human beings to act this way, or to kill a mother's young,
If you ever question how you feel, or why I wrote this song,
Look into the mother's eyes, and you'll know that war is wrong,
Their mothers are now childless, happiness no more,
Mothers of dead babies, killed by the greed of war,
War is just about real estate, nothing more, nothing less,
Anyone who tries to tell you different, knows not what he says,
He was once a baby, cradled in his mother's arms,
She gave life to him, and protected him from harm,
She was once a child, with penny candies in her hand,
Now their bodies lie together, on the blood soaked desert sand
