The War Within Lyrics

In these times that we're living in we are hopeless until we begin
To realize that we're deeply tangled in the lies keep our lives strangled
They would have us believe the nation is for justice, is for transformation
When the truth is blood-stained gold is power, these false prophets steal the lives that are ours

Chorus:
And the war outside is a mirror of what's within
Every word that breaks a heart, all the loveless patterns we live in
Repeat
Oh the war within
The War within becomes the war outside

It's our duty as human beings to enlighten what we think we're seeing
Cause in all of us are the roots of the fighting, you and I are doing the writing
Of this tragedy: our world's destruction, World War III, at its introduction
Individual negativity becomes collective, manifests what we see.

Chorus
