When the War is Won Lyrics

Burning down a country road, I am

Watching as the sun comes up

There's beauty here in everything I see

I look around and know that I am free

An old man's voice, "Slow down

That corner could hide anything"

Lost inside another hole, I am

Scratching at the walls around me

Deeper down the light is getting dim

And things down here could tear me limb from limb

An old man's voice, "Don't be scared

That light is coming from somewhere"

You will see for miles

See the truth in their eyes

You will walk with your head held high

When the war, when the war is won

Crawling from this filthy trench, I am

Blinking as the light it blinds me

Pull myself back on to my feet

I look around and know that I am free

I hear my voice, I say

"I wouldn't do it any other way"

Now I can see for miles

See the truth in their eyes

I can walk with my head held high

Now the war, now the war…

I can see for miles

See the truth in their eyes

I can walk with my head held high

Now the war, now the war is won
