lyrics

THE WAR IS OVER
Rushton & Parslow © 2002


Verse 1:
You’ve been battling an invisible enemy - shooting at ghosts that have long ago gone
You’re so busy defending your terri’try - that you’ve lived without love for too long
And the barricades that you place, to keep out the pain, are fencing you in
Don’t you know - you’re fighting a one-man war, that nobody can win?

Chorus:
The war is over,
Lay down your arms, you will not come to any harm
The war is over,
Lay down in my arms, you will not come to any harm

Verse 2:
Look around - there’s nobody fighting you, there’s only me here, and I am unarmed
Look again - there’s only me standing here, no need to run away, no need to be alarmed
Yes I know how scary it is, to lay down your weapons of doubt and fear
But as long as you stay behind your barricades, ain’t no way I can ever get near

Chorus:
The war is over,
Lay down your arms, you will not come to any harm
The war is over,
Lay down in my arms, you will not come to any harm
