When the Battle Is Over

Here we are, brothers in arms
In this god forsaken land
I know the cost of freedom runs deep
You can see the blood stained sand
With our backs to the wall
We stand brave and strong and true
We take it to the limit
And we do it all for you
When the battle is over
And the smoke has cleared
The fear is gone
As we long for our way back home
The battle still rages on
We’re all sinners believers
Holding our heads
High each day
When the battle is over
I pray that we’ll find our way
So far away but never alone
With my brothers by my side
To make the ultimate sacrifice
To guide the freedoms light
The future’s always uncertain
But it’s how it’s always been
Wounded hearts eternally
But we see it through the end
When the battle is over
And the smoke has cleared
The fear is gone
As we long for our way back home
The battle still rages on
We’re all sinners believers
Holding our heads
High each day
When the battle is over
I pray that we’ll find our way
Cause it’s you in my dream
Holding in my hands
No I won’t let it fade away
Like a rain drop in the sand
When the battle is over
I pray that I’ll find our way
When the battle is over
And the smoke has cleared
The fear is gone
As we long for our way back home
The battle still rages on
We’re all sinners believers
Holding our heads
High each day
When the battle is over
I pray that we’ll find our way
