War Is Over Lyrics

I’m a long lost boy returning
Home from a bloody war in a far off land
It’s good to see my sisters and my brothers
And the folks I left behind I’ve seen my share of heroes
Men with broken hearts but I never saw them cry
Battle scarred and weary, many have gone
But me and young Jim survived

I bring peace and I bring joy
I’m a home town boy
And I’m proud of the place I was raised in
I’ve been ten thousand miles
And I’ll stay for a while
And I won’t let no time go a-wasting
War is over, times are changing

I’ll go walking on Sunday morning
Down by the old school yard where I first met Marie
I guess she’s found a new love but I’m hoping she might
Still remember me

l carry that worn out picture
That I took the day I sailed across the sea
I was lost without a trace but life goes on
And I still love Marie

I bring peace and I bring joy
I’m a home town boy
And I’m proud of the place I was raised in
I’ve been ten thousand miles
And I’ll stay for a while
And I won’t let no time go a-wasting
War is over, times are changing
