The War Is Over

When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
 Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run
 Safe behind a half-smile, laying in the shadows
 I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands
 Inside I was a poor man, still screaming, "I don't understand"
 "Why am I always running?"
 "Why am I always hiding?"
 "What's the point in living when living feels like dying?"
 You can build your walls, love will tear it down
 You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
 You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky
 One day you will find love was on both sides
 The war is over
 I came upon a wise man
 He said, "Sit beside me son"
 "When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal Son"
 Safe behind a half-smile, hidin' in the shadows
 Tell 'em that it's all right, tell 'em 'cause you said so
 You can build your walls, love will tear it down
 You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
 You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky
 One day you will find love was on both sides
 The war is over, love's already won
 The war is over, the war is over
 The war is over, love's already won
 The war is over, the war is over
 Time stands still so long
 I feel so low
 I know what follows, what follows
 You can build your walls, but love will tear it down
 You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
 You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky
 One day you will find love was on both sides
 The war is over, love's already won
 The war is over, the war is over
 The war is over, love's already won
 The war is over, the war is over
