With a War

I moved from the city to another town
And yes, it’s raining everywhere
Walking streets paved with cement
Men’s tall stories are they heaven sent?
Are the days long enough in the town where you live?
Does the sun refuse to rise?
Through the smoke and the dirt and the shabbiness
And are the buildings grey with holy life?
I should argue with you when you’re stubborn
Waking things up with a war
Everyone you knew as a child has children now
Waking things up with a war
And when you reach your destination will you think of me
Waking things up with a war
Waking things up with a war
May the devils seize your vacant heart
You are so young, so very young
I want to lift you from the grime
Break your chains and then swap them for mine
I should argue with you when you’re stubborn
Waking things up with a war
Everyone you knew as a child has children now
Waking things up with a war
And when you reach your destination will you think of me
Waking things up with a war
Waking things up with a war
I should argue with you when you’re stubborn
Waking things up with a war
Everyone you knew as a child has children now
Waking things up with a war
And when you reach your destination will you think of me
Waking things up with a war
Waking things up with a war
