This War Is Over - Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge


Lyrics
Take off my shield

Carry my sword
I won't need it anymore

Find me a sky

Give me my wings

Frozen and broken but free


Tell them I'm all right
I'm coming home

Tell them I'm all right
I am alone

This war is over
I'm coming home


Take off my shame

Bury it low
I won't need it anymore

Find me the sun

Give me it whole

Melt all the chains in my soul


Tell them I'm all right
I'm coming home

Tell them I'm all right
I am alone

This war is over
I'm coming home


Take off my pain

Carry me slow
I won't fight here anymore

Tell them I'm all right
I'm coming home

Tell them I'm all right
I am alone

This war is over
I'm coming home
