He showed up all wet
on the rainy front step

wearing shrapnel in his skin

and the war he saw
lives inside him still

Chorus
G
Oh so you look at me
from across the room
you're wearing your anguish again
believe i know the feeling
it sucks you into the jaws of anger
oh, so breathe a little more deeply my love
all we have is the very moment
and i don't want to do what
his father and his father and his father did
i want to be here now
so open up your morning light
and say a little prayer for I
you know that if we are to stay alive
and see the peace in every I
