lyrics

War Zone

It’s a war zone, can you feel it in the air?
It’s a war zone, can you feel it in the air?

I get troubled, by what I see
By what I read, what comes through my TV
It’s a war zone, can you feel it in the air?
The streets are burning, for a love that cares

Look behind you, can you feel it coming?
Broken families and children unloving
It’s a war zone, can you feel it in the air?
The conflict within us, the war out there

Waiting for my saviour to come
Which one should I choose?
A state politician or a God in heaven
Something that can’t be moved, moved, or proved

It’s a war zone, can you feel it in the air?
This friction inside of us, is driving me to despair
World government’s, boundary lines
People famined, it assaults my mind

It’s a War zone, can you feel it in the air?
It’s a War zone, can you feel it in the air?
