[Verse 1]
Well you have been kind, and I know it seems helpless
You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart
You're helping me move from the inside to the outside
You're trying so hard and I can't even start

[Refrain]
It's a war in there
It's a war in there

[Verse 2]
Well you peacemakers go to the same place as soldiers
If you wanna make peace, well you gotta find the pain
And you bring your words
But you're just like them, you're unprepared
'Cause you don't know the terrain

[Refrain]
It's a war in there
It's a war in there

[Verse 3]
And don't you know I'll never give you a medal
Made back on stateside in the Central time zone
The one that they pin to the outside, to the outside
And it leads you all the way home
[Refrain]
It's a war in there
It's a war in there

[Outro]
But you can hold me now
You can hold me now
