When the War is Finally Done

Оригінал

Won't you wake me up when the war is finally done?

Once the songs all have been sung from my blemished lungs

Won't you wake me up when the war is finally done?

We'll ride black horses through the sky into the sun

Tell me when our kids are safe from the threat of guns

Once the towns all have gone quiet in the bitter sun

Won't you wake me up when the trains finally run?

Won't you rouse me from my sleep when the war is done?

Once the birds return all bright, their song is sung

Our expectations of our lives just come undone

Ride black horses through the night into the sun

Can't bear to see now what our cities have become

Running through the stations when the trains rerun

Leave our flowers in the wreckage of their guns

Tell me all the ways in which the war was won

Please come wake me up now the war is finally done

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I'll be here, I won't fear for another day

Wanna heal all the fear, I won't keep away

I'll be here, leave the fear for another day

I'll be here, won't fear for another day

I'll be here, won't fear for another day

Wanna heal all the fear, I won't keep away

I'll be here, leave the fear for another day

I'll be here, won't fear for another day

Cannot feel, but I'll heal through another way

Wanna heal all the fear, I won't keep away

I'll be here, leave the fear for another day
