There's a boy inside of me reaching out for sympathy
I stare at him from a far 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 but 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
