War Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you choose to speak or do you just stay quiet?
While you’ve been living in a dream I’ve been living in the daytime
Good people of the street we will rise up to fight
In disbelief, don’t retreat, remember this affects your life

[Pre-Chorus]
Feeding on your lies, opened up my eyes
Women realise, that good men have to cry
When the war is done, what’s for my future son?
The land he’s walking on, will it all be gone?

[Chorus]
I guess I’m walking to the war
I told my Mum I won’t be long
Protect my family from harm
I guess I’m walking to the war
I told my Mum I won’t be long
Protect my family from harm

[Verse 2]
I don’t mind losing sleep as long as no-one else dies
If we remember we're a team always fighting for the same side
Don’t let the enemy believe he’s even getting in your mind
Maybe one day there’ll be peace but I won't see it in this lifetime
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeding on your lies, opened up my eyes
Women realise, that good men have to cry
When the war is done, what’s for my future son?
The land he’s walking on, will it all be gone?

[Chorus]
I guess I’m walking to the war
I told my Mum I won’t be long
Protect my family from harm
I guess I’m walking to the war
I told my Mum I won’t be long
Protect my family from harm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
