Love & War
When I sing about love and war
I don't really know what I'm saying
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people prayin'
They pray to Allah and they pray to Lord
And mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Seen a lot of young men go to war
And leave a lot of young brides waiting
I've watched them try to explain it to their kids
I've seen a lot of them failing
They try to tell them and they try to explain
Why daddy won't ever come home again
Daddy won't ever come home
Daddy won't ever come home
Said a lot of things I can't take back
But I don't really know if I wanna
And songs about love, I sang songs about war
Since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
But I'll still try to sing about love and war
Saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to break the heart of your lover
I made a mistake and I did it again
And we struggled to recover
I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
Love and war
When I sing about love and war
I don't really know what I'm saying
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people prayin'
They pray to Allah and they pray to the Lord
And mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Love and war
