Time Immemorial

Wounded soldier, rest a while
In this hosue you're safe from harm
Let the war fight itself
Don't be alarmed
Though I wear a uniform of your army's enemy,
I am no enemy to you

We didn't start this war, or the one before
All we've ever wanted was to love in peace

War is the mindset of those threatened by the thought
Of losing power, and control, don't you see
We have been our worst enemy
But you and I have minds of our own,
We can choose to disengange,
From the collective misperception,
Of the kind of war that's being waged here
We're living in fear

Life, like the stream running through,
The many hills and plaines of landscape you,
To meet the greater body of the sea,
There, not diminished but built upon,
It returns itself to where it came from,
So can it be with you and me

We are the heart and soul of our greater whole
All we've ever wanted was to come home to ourselves

Since time immemorial there's been conflict and war,
Each new one greater than the one before
Don't you see we have been our sole enemy?
But you and I can break the circle,
We don't have to feed the flames
Pointing fingers, blaming others
We are all to blame around here
For living in fear
