There's a boy inside of me reaching out for sympathy

I stare at him from a far wishing I could say to him.

[Chorus]

Child put the weapon down

You will be alright somehow, you will be safe and sound

I swear, you can walk out that door they can't hurt

You anymore the sun will come out for sure this time.

There's a war inside of us we wrestle with the fear that

We may never win but all the while through space and time

A greater light will always speak for us.

[Chorus]

Child put the weapon down

You will be alright somehow, you will be safe and sound

I swear, you can walk out that door they can't hurt

You anymore the sun will come out for sure this time.

Only light can quench the dark, only hope can ease the pain

We're the reason for the fall but only love can stop the war.

[Chorus]

Child put the weapon down

You will be alright somehow, you will be safe and sound

I swear, you can walk out that door they can't hurt

You anymore the sun will come out for sure this time.
