war at home

Josh Groban

Fallen brother heââ?¬â?¢s a fallen husband
Heââ?¬â?¢s about to be woken in his hospital bed
He doesnââ?¬â?¢t want to rest
He just wants to run
And heââ?¬â?¢s tired of being told that heââ?¬â?¢s the lucky one

Caped crusader sheââ?¬â?¢s newborn leader
But you should see her when her daughterââ?¬â?¢s on the phone
And she wipes the tears away
And she laces up because thereââ?¬â?¢s still hell to pay
And it sure feels like hell today

And she says
You see these hands theyââ?¬â?¢re bruised and brown
Theyââ?¬â?¢re yours alone
Hold on love weââ?¬â?¢re still going down
Hold on love weââ?¬â?¢re still fighting at home
The war at home

Innocence behind his broken expression
Heââ?¬â?¢s a child of mercy heââ?¬â?¢s our unlearned lesson
And heââ?¬â?¢s trying to wake up
From this wilderness his world has now become
Heââ?¬â?¢s reaching out to those heââ?¬â?¢s running from

And he says
You see these hands theyââ?¬â?¢re bruised and brown
Theyââ?¬â?¢re yours alone
Hold on love weââ?¬â?¢re still going down
Hold on love weââ?¬â?¢re still fighting at home
The war at home

And itââ?¬â?¢s (one step forward and two steps back)
This is all who are marching
(one step forward two steps back)
This is young and old
(one step forward two steps back)
Through the void of silence
You are not alone

You see these hands their million strong
They are yours now
Hold on love weââ?¬â?¢re all going down
