lyrics

When you gonna quite your lonely war;
Find something worth fighting for?
When you gonna see your enemy
Is the person in the mirror that you see?

Standing at the fence and gazing out;
A heart full of dreams and a head full of doubt
Too afraid of heights to think to soar-
Away with all you’ve thought before,
It’s only you you’re searching for.

When you gonna quite your lonely war;
Take the barricades from your front door?
Will you stand up to the enemy within-
Tell him that it’s high time to begin?

Looking through the window from the dark
For a new beginning without the fear to start.
Go-on step into the light!
There’s only you in the rifle sights,
There’s only you that can stop the fight.

Look at the reflection staring back;
The wind and the weather; the lines and the cracks.
It’s never too late to turning back.
Look the stranger in the eye.
Tell him that he’s had his time.

When you gonna quite your lonely war;
Come out of the shadows and find there’s more?
When you gonna choose not to refuse
Anything other than to lose?

Give yourself and see the truth.
When you gonna end the war?
