War Of Ancient Days Lyrics

War of Ancient Days

There are many who would help me now

There are many to hold me tight

But like a child I want no one if I cannot have you

You soul was a star and mine daylight

But you'll never know what I let it do to me

When I saw you were never mine

Yeah but I'm standing up I'm not wallowing

I will not turn to drink this time

And time goes on like a river flowing

Well don't you think it's time that love was showing

Yeah but I don't mean the kind where you have to touch me

I knew we're way beyond that phase

I just mean the kind that could show some tenderness

To a war from ancient days

For I see our son as he goes walking

He, I knew, that you desired

So don't tell me my wife it don't concern you now

In the dark recesses of your mind

And time goes on like a river flowing

But don't you think that it's time that love was showing

So I didn't come here today to see you get the best deal

You can have this stuff I will say goodby

I came here to wage a war on the poverty

That I see in our eyes

I'm here to pay that hardest price

Hey now I'm willing to change my ways

I'm here to lay the wreath of peace at your feet

And end the war of ancient days

You can't stop me

It just takes one

But you can join me now

Cause this old war is done.
