Dar Williams

Well, you have been kind and I know it seems hopeless
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

It's a war in there
It's a war in there

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

It's a war in there
It's a war in there

And don't you know I'll never give you a medal
Laid back on state-side, in the central time zone
The one that they pinned to the outside, to the outside
And it leads you all the way home

It's a war in there
It's a war in there

You can hold me now
You can hold me now.
