At War

**Intro:** *(Soft piano notes, gentle hums in the background)* Mmm, mmm, mmm… Mmm, mmm, mmm… *(Strings quietly swell in)* **Verse 1:** Sometimes hearts can't give what they don't hold, Wounded souls can be so cold, They’re fighting battles deep inside, And in their pain, they hide and cry. **Chorus:** *(Background vocals: "Ooooh, ooooh…")* Those at war with themselves can't bring you peace, *(Background vocals: "They can’t give you peace…")* They’re lost in struggles that never cease. *(Background vocals: "Never cease…")* If they betray themselves, how can they be true? *(Background vocals: "How can they be true…")* See them as they are, not who they are to you. *(Background vocals: "Mmm, mmm, mmm…")* **Verse 2:** If lies are all they’ve ever known, Truth’s a seed they’ve never sown. We hope for light, but darkness reigns, In their hearts, in endless chains. **Chorus:** *(Background vocals: "Ooooh, ooooh…")* Those at war with themselves can't bring you peace, *(Background vocals: "They can’t give you peace…")* They’re lost in struggles that never cease. *(Background vocals: "Never cease…")* If they betray themselves, how can they be true? *(Background vocals: "How can they be true…")* See them as they are, not who they are to you. *(Background vocals: "Mmm, mmm, mmm…")* **Bridge:** *(Soft hums, echoing tenderly)* Let go of the dreams you hold so tight, Sometimes love is out of sight. Forgive them for what they cannot give, In your heart, let your own love live. **Chorus:** *(Background vocals: "Ooooh, ooooh…")* Those at war with themselves can't bring you peace, *(Background vocals: "They can’t give you peace…")* They’re lost in struggles that never cease. *(Background vocals: "Never cease…")* If they betray themselves, how can they be true? *(Background vocals: "How can they be true…")* See them as they are, not who they are to you. (Background vocals: "Mmm, mmm, mmm…") [Outro:] [(Strings swell softly, piano plays a tender melody)] Goodnight, dear one, find your own way, In the quiet night, you’ll find the day. Let your heart be free, let your spirit soar, For in your love, you’ll find so much more. (Mmm, mmm, mmm…) [(Piano and strings fade out gently)]
