lyrics

At War With The World

I know he’s right, I know he’s weary
Know he must fight for his honour clearly
I know he’s angry, almost to tears
He lashes out - half in fear
For what can you do, when the world has turned on you?
And every right you’ve ever known is wrong?
What can you say when the world has turned away?
For he’s at war with the world: for he’s at war with the world.

I know he’s tired, beaten down
When it comes to fury he wears the crown
I know he’s bitter, lost to rage
When it comes to pain to writes the page
For what can you do, when the world turns on you?
And every right you’ve ever known is wrong?
What can you say when the world turns away?
For he’s at war with the world, for he’s at war with the world.

Chorus
There is no peace when your world’s at war
When you don’t know what you’re fighting for
There is no peace when your world’s at war.

While I walk he never walks alone
While I live he’ll always have a home
While he stands I stand beside
His fight is mine, his pride my pride
For what can you do, when all the world has turned on you?
And every right you’ve ever known is wrong?
What can you say when all the world has turned away?
For he’s at war with the world, for he’s at war with the world.

Chorus

I love the man - like no other
He’s my heart, there’ll never be another
Blood is blood when said and done
What else is there? He’s my only son
For what can you do, when the world turns on you?
And every right you’ve ever known is wrong?
What can you say when all world has turns away?
For he’s at war with the world, for he’s at war with the world.
