The War Is Over

When I was a young man, I never needed anyone

Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run

Safe behind a half smile, laying in the shadows

I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands

Inside I was a poor man, still screaming, I don't understand

Why am I always running, why am I always hiding?

What's the point in living when living feels like dying?

You can build your walls, love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man made house

You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over

I came upon a wise man, he said, sit beside me, son

When I was a young man I was like you, the Prodigal Son

Safe behind a half smile, hiding in the shadows

Tell 'em that it's all right, tell 'em 'cause you said so

You can build your walls, love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man made house

You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over

Time stands still so long

I feel so low

I know what follows, what follows

You can build your walls, love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man made house

You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over
