just got back

(Verse 1)
We Sleep Safely At Night While Violence Visits The Vulnerable All The Time,
Maybe Some Of Us Never Knew, Peace Is More Difficult Than War Anytime,
We Often Think We’re Far From The Enemy, Until We See Them Near Us,
Is It Still Called War If It Uses Man’s Best To Do Man’s Worst—?
To The Helpless, To The Vulnerable, And To The Weak—?
What Do We Actually Win When The Smoke Clears Away?
How Do We Tell Our Children About A Dying Mother,
Holding The Only Photo She Has Of Her Child On The Battlefield—?
Is It Time To Call Upon Better Guardian Angels Of Our Nature?
Tell Us, Aren’t There Something We Can Do To Change The Future?

(Chorus)
Why Do We Keep Choosing To Be Violent?
What Story Do We Tell When It’s All Over?
Why Is It So Hard To Keep Being Peaceful?
Why Do We Keep Loving This War Cycle?
Why Do We Keep Creating Survival?
Why Do We Keep Giving Funerals?

(Verse 2)
Living Is Simple Until It Becomes Something To Survive For,
The Outcomes Keep Attending Every Funeral From The Refuge,
They Used To Never Miss A Call, Now They Can’t See Their Families,
We Always Forge Towards Victory, Who Reminds Us About Casualties?
When We Are Expecting Strategies, Are They Counting Tragedies—?
While We Worry ’Bout Our Stories, They’re Reckoning About Their Reality-
Do We Still Grieve For What We Have?
While They Still Counting Their Breath-?

(Chorus)
Why Do We Keep Choosing To Be Violent?
What Story Do We Tell When It’s All Over?
Why Is It So Hard To Keep Being Peaceful?
Why Do We Keep Loving This War Cycle?
Why Do We Keep Creating Survival?
Why Do We Keep Giving Funerals?

(Bridge)
If Victory Means Nothing When The Innocent Are Gone,
If Every Flag We Raise Still Leaves Another Family Torn,
Then Tell Me What We’re Fighting For When Nobody Can Go Home,
And Tell Me Who We’re Saving When The Survivors Feel Alone—

Maybe We Were Never Meant To Count The Names We Lost,
Maybe We Were Meant To Understand The Weight Of Every Cost,
Before We Call It History, Before We Call It Something Done,
Can We Still Call It Victory When Nobody Really Won?

(Outro)
So Let The Silence Speak For Those Who Can’t,
Let The Empty Chairs Remind Us What We Have,
We Keep Counting Every Reason We Were Right,
While Someone Else Is Counting Breaths Tonight—

What Do We Call A Victory
When There’s Nobody Left To Celebrate?
What Do We Call It Winning
When The Living Still Mourn The Same?
