Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes it's saving lives
It's the judgement of faith
It's nothing that men can dictateCorporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu
Saved his brothers in arms
Went out and followed throughThere and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
Out of the men that he carried away
Twelve men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes it's saving lives
From Australia shore
Bull Allen went to warSometimes war is saving
Sometimes it's taking lives
Thanks to one single manA dozen more survives
There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
Out of the men that he carried away
Twelve men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
Some men return from a war in a bag
And yet the world knows the story
Others return unwilling to plan a lifeWhen humble at heartNooooo
There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
Out of the men that he carried away
Twelve men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
