I was born beside cool water
I'm the son of a preacher's daughter
And I've never been to war
I was raised with a firm right hand
My father is a good man
And I've never been to war
Chorus 1:
There's a little hope inside every song I sing
Try to let it go, it just comes right back again
Oh these mountains will make diamonds out of ordinary men
I believe it all, but then, I have never been to war
So spin me out across
mirrored faces, timeless spaces
Where the blue sky meets the land
For I am graced by
Wind and sunshine spray and straight lines
Make my bed upon the sand
Chorus 2:
There's a little hope inside every song I sing
Tried to let it go, it just comes right back again
Oh these rivers, they will leave you in the company of friends
I have seen through to the end, though I've never been to war
Bridge:
And in a moment this will all be over
Close your eyes and wiggle your toes
We are headed toward some glorious transformation
And what we shall become, no one really knows
I am wading
under moonlight bathed in starlight
Somewhere out beyond the shore
Would you meet me
On that morning, oh my soul is yearning
To hear the lions at the door
Chorus 3:
There's a little hope inside every song I sing
Try to let it go, it just comes right back again
We are wandering here like beggars, someday soon we will be kings
As though waking from a dream
Though I've never...
Oh I've never been to war
