It's A War In There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well you have been kind and I know it seems helpless
You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart
You're helping me move from the inside to the outside
You're trying so hard and I can't even start
It's a war in there, it's a war in there
Well you peacemakers go to the same place as soldiers
If you want to make peace, well you gotta find the pain
And you bring your words but you're just like them, you'reunprepared
Cause you don't know the terrain
It's a war in there, it's a war in there
And don't you know I'll never give you a medal
Made back on stateside in the central time zone
The one that they pin to the outside, to the outside
And it leads you all the way home
It's a war in there, it's a war in there
But you can hold me now, you can hold me now.
