War at Home

[Verse 1]
Fallen brother
He's a fallen husband
He's about to be woken in his hospital bed
He doesn't wanna rest
He just wants to run
And he's tired of being told that he's the lucky one

[Verse 2]
Caped crusader, she's a new-born leader
But you should see her when her daughter's on the phone
And she wipes the tears away
And she laces up because there's still hell to pay
And it sure feels feels like Hell today, today

[Chorus]
And she says
You see these hands? They're bruised and brown
They're yours alone
Hold on love, we're still going down
Hold on, love, we're still fighting at home
The war at home

[Verse 3]
Innocence behind his broken expression
He's a child of mercy
He's our unlearned lesson
And he's trying to wake up from this wilderness
His world has now become
He's reaching out to those he's running from

[Chorus]
And he says
You see these hands? They're bruised and brown
They're yours alone
Hold on now, we're still going down
Hold on now, we're still fighting

[Bridge]
And it's
(One step forward, two steps back)
This is all who are marching
(One step forward, two steps back)
This is young and old
(One step forward, two steps back)
Through the void of the silence
You are not alone

[Outro]
You see these hands? They're a million strong
They are yours now
Hold on now, we're all going down
Hold on now, we're all fighting at home
The war at home
