Lyrics
WHEN THIS WAR IS OVER
AS WE CROSS THESE FIELDS OF SAND
WE USED TO CALL THIS PLACE HOME
BUT NOT NOW, THIS IS A DESOLATE LAND
AND SOMETIMES I WONDER, OH YES I WONDER
WHEN'S IT GONNA END, AND WHERE DOES IT GO FROM HERE
SEE THOSE HILLS, THEY WERE OURS TO RUN
WHEN YOU AND I WERE KIDS, AND OUR PATH WAS ONE
NOW WER'E TORN APART BY SOMEONE ELSE'S WAR
BUT WE REALLY AIN' NO DIFFERENT NOW THAN WHATWE WERE BEFORE AND..
BOMBS FLYING OVER MY HEAD, BARELY ALIVE, MAY BE BETTER OFF DEAD, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
WHEN THIS WAR IS OVER
SHOO FLY, DON'T YOU BOTHER ME
A MILLION MILES FROM HERE IS WHERE I'D RATHER BE
NOTHING LEFT FOR US TO HOLD ON TO
JUST A BATTLEFIELD OF BROKEN HOMES AND BROKEN DREAMS AND..
BOMBS FLYING OVER MY HEAD, BARELY ALIVE. MAY BE
BETTER OFF DEAD, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
WHEN THIS WAR IS OVER
SOLO
REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE....
