Lyrics

War is raw

I have crossed the ocean - I have crossed that line
I have crossed my heart and prayed - for peace within my time
War is raw spelt backward - that’s all I feel
It’s a bitter wind thats blowing - sometimes it’s hard to stand
Sometimes running is the only way - left to be a man
Because war is raw spelt backward - that’s all I feel
If they melted all the bullets - and turned them into coins
They could feed the hungry - and bring peace upon the world
So you become bait for the smugglers - your fate is in their hands
Your safe from the bullets but you’re still afraid - upon a strangers land
Because war is raw spelt backward - that’s all I feel
If they melted all the bullets - and turned them into coins
They could feed the hungry - and bring peace upon the world
If we could bury all the hatreds - instead of our young men
If our faith was in each other - not glorified doctrine
‘Cause war is raw spelt backward - that’s all I feel
War is raw spelt backward - that’s all I feel
So I will cross the ocean - I will cross that line
I will cross the world - for the peace I seek to find
