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?
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 but 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
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
