There's a boy inside of me Reaching out for sympathy I stare at him from afar Wishing I could say to him Child put the weapon down You will be alright somehow You will be safe and sound, I swear You can walk out that door they can't hurt you anymore The sun will come out for sure this time There's a war inside of us We wrestle with the fear that we may never win All the while, through space and time A greater light will always speak for us Only light can quench the dark, only hope can ease the pain We're the reason for the fall but only love can stop the war
