Lyrics
*Lord send angels, keep my love high and dry.
Why would they send you so far away?
What war is worth this price you pay? *
I try to surrender: benevolence instead of violence.
Hate is toxic and doesn?t fix a thing.*
I count the days that you are there.
Each day you are alive answers my prayer.*
Come home soon, come home to peace,
come home to heal the wound that shouldn?t have to be. *
