When the War is Finally Done

[Verse 1]

Won't you wake me up when the war is finally done

Once the songs all have been sung from my blemished lungs

Won't you wake me up when the war is finally done

We'll ride black horses through the sky into the sun

[Verse 2]

Tell me when our kids are safe from the threat of guns

Once the towns all have gone quiet in the bitter sun

Won't you wake me up when the trains finally run

Won't you rouse me from my sleep when the war is donе

[Verse 3]

Once the birds return all bright, thеir song is sung

Our expectations of our lives just come undone

Ride black horses through the night into the sun

Can't bear to see now what our cities have become

[Verse 4]

Running through the stations when the trains rerun

Leave our flowers in the wreckage of their guns

Tell me all the ways in which the war was won

Please come wake me up now the war is finally done

[Outro]

(Ooh)

(Ooh)

(Ooh)

I'll be here, I won't fear for another day (Ooh)

Wanna heal all the fear, I won't keep away

I'll be here, leave the fear for another day (Ooh)

I'll be here, won't fear for another day

I'll be here, won't fear for another day (Ooh)

Wanna heal all the fear, I won't keep away

I'll be here, leave the fear for another day (Ooh)

I'll be here, won't fear for another day

Cannot feel, but I'll heal through another way (Ooh)

Wanna heal all the fear, I won't keep away

I'll be here, leave the fear for another day (Ooh)
