The Homeless Gospel Choir - When the War Is Over

When the war is over
Will you look at me the same
As you did
What if my face don't look the same?
When the war is over
What if I forget
Your name
Or the smell of your hair?
Would you tell our kids
Not to be scared

When the war is over
Will I come back to the home that I know
Or will it be strange
Is it me or that house who has changed?

'Cause there are pictures in my mind
That no words can define
I used to stand up tall with pride
But a piece of me was lost somewhere during those war times

When the war is over
Do you think that Jesus will
Will forgive me?
Oh for what I've seen?
I pray that he'll have pity on me

When the war is over
Will I get to rest my tired head?
Oh right next to yours?
Can we sit in the quiet on our porch?
When the war is over
Do you think that my mind will be at ease?
Oh, say yes, please!
Because I wanna teach our kids to live in peace

'Cause there are pictures in my mind
That no words can define
I used to stand up tall with pride
But a piece of me was lost somewhere during-
There are pictures in my mind
That no words can define
I used to stand up tall with pride
But a piece was lost somewhere during those war times
A piece of me was lost somewhere during those war times
A piece of everyone was lost during those war times
