When The War Is Over

I've been searching for a long while
Looking for something to make sense of it all
And I don't know even after all this time
Whether there's a reason to carry it on

And I can see the world is changing
And now the wounds of war are fading
I wanna know
What you gonna do when the war is over

What you gonna do when the battles are won
What you gonna do when the fightin's over
Where you gonna hide when the war is won
In this world of broken promises

Is it any wonder, I'm going out of my mind
If the truth is known too much was said
There's nothing to remind me
Of what we left behind

And now my fighting days are over
Too many dreams have gone forever
I wanna know
