Gonna Win the War

from Oh Quiet World by David Berkeley

lyrics

Gonna win the war
Gonna hold it down
We’re coming back for sure
Gonna win this war

It’s just a waiting game
It is not the end
And no one is to blame
It’s just a waiting game

Oh, Child we’ll be fine. Don’t be worried.
I’ll hold you tonight in my arms

I know that it’s hard.
I know that you’re scared.
Alone can feel so dark.
I know that it’s hard.

The enemy’s unseen.
It’s different from before.
We keep the space between
The enemy unseen.

Oh, Child we’ll be fine. Don’t be worried.
I’ll hold you tonight in my arms.
Oh, momma I’m fine. Don’t be worried
I’ll hold you tonight in my mind.

Gonna win the war.
Gonna hold it down.
We’re coming back for sure.
Gonna win the war.

Spring is coming soon.
It slips inside the walls.
It’s bigger than these rooms.
Spring is coming soon.
