War Child

(Chris Orbach)
War Child

They say I had a great uncle
Who saved a destroyer from sinking
Sometimes I wonder
If that old boy’s still around
‘Cause I’m going down
Yeah I’m going down

It’s hard to just sit here
When chaos is all that I’m used to
It’s hard to just hold you
And trust that you won’t slip away
Though I try each day
Yeah I try each day

But I’m a War Child
Suspicious of silence and space
A War Child

Off in my wasteland
You with a light in the distance
There’s got to be something
To push me on over the hill
And I know love will
If I can just keep still

But I’m a War Child
Suspicious of silence and space
A War Child
I’m a War Child
Staring your love in the face
A War Child
A War Child
A War Child
