A sad tale of a young child who ask the great spirit to guide him on his lifepath away from harming another soul

In the first verse he is two years old and makes the request ‘I hope I never have to kill a man’
In the 2nd verse he is 17 and feels the euphoria of life, discovers poetry, love and song, in this verse he is ‘sure he’ll never have to kill a man’
3rd verse see’s political climate change, he is 20 and trains as a Partisan, still he ‘hopes he’ll never have to kill a man’
Final verse he comes to a clearing in a wood, sees a young enemy soldier resting neath a tree, they have a stand off and in the moment the enemy soldier is shot, the young man runs to his brother in war and comforts him, on his brothers dying breath he whispers ‘Im glad I never had to kill a man’
So this song could be a curse, a dream, a fear
