May I come home from the war I don't wanna fight anymore, oh no May I be fearless to feel love I pray for forgiveness to the stars above again May I feel ease after the strain May I soften into the pain The battles, lost causes, wrong trees that we bark up A dog chasing tails with a bone that it can't bite Spending lost days, all the time I never get back Trying to solve the ways of my mind and my make up May I feel rain splash under my feet Feel the sun on my back as I swim in the sea, oh yeah May I tell the guilt and all the shame That my mistakes will show me the way Live and let live. All the freaks and the clowns And the mothers and the fathers that fail all year 'round May there be boys and may there be girls May the human beings be free in this world May there be a sanctuary for the lost and found May there be salvation for the sin and the hate that we spread around Sometimes we swim and sometimes we float When the storm gets too rough put on your black coat There's only what's now, what's been is just a scene From a movie that you rerun in your mind that you've seen Don't miss out on the light and the love you make If you come home from your war, all this love you may take You may take
