It's A War In There Lyrics - Dar Williams

Well, you have been kind and I know it seems hopeless 

You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart 

You're helping me move from the inside to the outside 

You're trying so hard and I can't even start 

It's a war in there 

It's a war in there 

And you peacemakers go to the same place as soldiers 

If you wanna make peace, well, you gotta find the pain 

You bring your words but you're just like them, you're unprepared 

'Cause you don't know the terrain 

It's a war in there 

It's a war in there 

And don't you know I'll never give you a medal 

Made back on stateside in the central time zone 

The one that they pin to the outside, to the outside 

And it leads you all the way home 

It's a war in there 

It's a war in there 

But you can hold me now 

You can hold me now
