Wounded soldier rest a while
In this house
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 live 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 disengage
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
