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
