The War Is Over lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I was a young man, I never needed anyone

Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run

Safe behind a half-smile, laying in the shadows

I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands

Inside I was a poor man, still screaming, "I don't understand"

"Why am I always running?" "Why am I always hiding?"

"What's the point in living when living feels like dying?"

[Chorus]

You can build your walls, love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man-made house

You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

The war is over

[Verse 2]

I came upon a wise man, he said, "Sit beside me son"

"When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal Son"

Safe behind a half-smile, hidin' in the shadows

Tell 'em that it's all right, tell 'em 'cause you said so

[Chorus]

You can build your walls, love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man-made house

You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

[Post-Chorus]

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over

[Bridge]

Time stands still so long

I feel so low

I know what follows, what follows

[Chorus]

You can build your walls, but love will tear it down

You can hide your heart inside a man-made house

You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky

One day you will find love was on both sides

[Post-Chorus]

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over

The war is over, love's already won

The war is over, the war is over
