Child of War

A child of war
Your smile means more
Your frown means more
And everything is more intense
Your hate is strong
Your love is deep
And you cannot stand pretense
A child of war
The past is gone
Depression's dark
And lust consumes your very being, yeah
And beauty's painful, cold and stark
The bomb sounds scare you into seeing

Child of war
You play in the shadows
In the valleys and meadows
Child of war
Of a bomb shelter's gaze
Child of war
Bombs are like arrows
They bring so much sorrow
Child of war
To this history-hardened place

A child of war
Your heart feels more
Your eyes see all
The bugs that crawl
The drops that fall
The race's toll
The years that roll
This earth as one blue ball
A child of war
What have you seen?
What does it mean?
To be in pain all the time
Child of war
Your rubble streets
Are all you know
Where will you go?
A child of war

Child of war
You play in the shadows
In the valleys and meadows
Child of war
Of a bomb shelter's gaze
Child of war
Bombs are like arrows
They bring so much sorrow
Child of war
To this history-hardened place

Let the chaos build inside
Let it go, let it go
Let the chaos build inside
Let it go, let it go

Maybe there is peace to be had
Somewhere
I don't know
Maybe there's a place of silence
Where purple flowers grow

Maybe there is peace to be had
Somewhere
I don't know
Maybe there's a place of silence
Where purple flowers grow

Let the chaos build inside
Let it go, let it go
Let the chaos build inside
Let it go, let it go

Child of war
You play in the shadows
In the valleys and meadows
Child of war
Of a bomb shelter's gaze
Child of war
Bombs are like arrows
They bring so much sorrow
Child of war
To this history-hardened place

Child of war
You play in the shadows
In the valleys and meadows
Child of war
Of a bomb shelter's gaze
Child of war
Bombs are like arrows
They bring so much sorrow
Child of war
To this history-hardened place
