"May I Come Home From My War" lyrics

May I come home from the war
I don't wanna fight anymore, oh no
May I be fearless to feel love
I pray for forgiveness to the stars above again

May I feel ease after the strain
May I soften into the pain

The battles, lost causes, wrong trees that we bark up
A dog chasing tails with a bone that it can't bite
Spending lost days, all the time I never get back
Trying to solve the ways of my mind and my make up

May I feel rain splash under my feet
Feel the sun on my back as I swim in the sea, oh yeah
May I tell the guilt and all the shame
That my mistakes will show me the way

Live and let live. All the freaks and the clowns
And the mothers and the fathers that fail all year 'round
May there be boys and may there be girls
May the human beings be free in this world

May there be a sanctuary for the lost and found
May there be salvation for the sin and the hate that we spread around

Sometimes we swim and sometimes we float
When the storm gets too rough put on your black coat
There's only what's now, what's been is just a scene
From a movie that you rerun in your mind that you've seen

Don't miss out on the light and the love you make
If you come home from your war, all this love you may take
You may take
