She's Coming Home
(Riverwolfthyme)


[2005]
Lyrics and Music by David James
Album: Live At Woodland Park

"This song inspired by.. George A. Custer, George W. Bush, John Lennon and my Frustration.... and the Pain, suffering that goes with it".
The waves of change
pass through so quickly
that we don't hear them,
crash upon our shores.

To speak out loud,
without hesitation
is not an easy fellin'
to restore

Now we were built
on a promise of freedom
but we've forgot
what that freedom was for

to live a life
of tolerance for others
to play the game
and not worry 'bout the score

And all we can say
is give the war a chance
And all we can say,
is give the war a chance

Like the Indians of old
we use a treaty
an effective means
to take the land

In search of gold
under Black Hills' water
Now it's back gold,
buried far beneath the sand.

There are times
we can justify killin'
and other times
we seem to look away

Like a school yard bully,
it's so compellin
to knock 'em down
when they don't think your way..

And all we can say
is give the war a chance
All we can say
is give the war a chance

So how many
of our sons and daughters
must have to shed
their blood on the sand

And how many
innocent Muslim children
will have to die
for their motherland..

So stay the course
and pray to Jesus
and we know
what he'd want us to do

And don't look up
when you hear a mortar
and keep your fingers crossed
it's not coming for you

And all we can say
is give the war a chance
And all we can say
is give the war a chance..

And all we can say
is give the war a chance
And all we can say
is give the war a chance..
