Maybe when the war is over

Maybe when the war is over
we can try to work on love
and rebuild the smoking ruins
we can try to talk of love

Let us sign another treaty
true to promises this time
let us find the just solutions
you’ll keep yours and I’ll keep mine

When to reason gets too heavy
anger occupies the mind
if we hold on to our losses
we won’t know what we might find

Let us leave the trenches early
both surrender the same time
we can clear the space between us
let us try to find each mine

Peace for us in times of hatred
we can try to work on love
let the present be behind us
we can try to work on love
Freedom is a heavy burden
we can try to work on love
