When the War is Over

Folder: 
Here Comes Hope

When the war is over

Another one just as quickly begins

When the war is over

We still continue living out our sins

When the war is over

There’s nothing left but question marks and debris

When the war is over

Dog tags and body bags as far as the eye can see



When the war is over

We ask ourselves, “Was it really worth all the pain?”

When the war is over

Everything we took so long to build gets washed down the drain

When the war is over

The skies are still gray and we can’t feel the warmth of the sun

When the war is over

The destruction and devastation are still far from done



When the war is over

We pick up the pieces but they never fit together quite the same way they did once before

When the war is over

In the sky white flags are ripped to shreds by the hawks that still freely soar

When the war is over

We bury our regrets and painfully pray

When the war is over

We just hope we survive to see one more day



When the war is over

We realize that freedom comes with a pretty hefty fee

When the war is over

The battles still go on between you and me

When the war is over

Everyone has lost and no one has won

When the war is over

Is when the real war has begun
