Gypsy Sage - After the Warfare

(Verse 1) The smoke is finally clearing from the valley, The sirens fade into a quiet hum. We count the cost of every broken alley, And wonder where the better days have come. I wipe the dust from pictures on the table, And try to find the person I used to be. We are weary, but we’re learning how to be able, To look across the quiet, open sea. (Chorus) After the warfare, the silence starts to heal, After the heartbreak, we learn to truly feel. We’re laying down the armor, stepping in the sun, Realizing we are no longer on the run. Oh, after the warfare, we are starting fresh today, Watching all the shadows wash away. (Verse 2) The jagged scars we carry are a reminder, Of every single storm we’ve weathered through. But every passing day is getting kinder, And the morning sky is breaking into blue. We plant a seed of green and watch it rise above the muddy ground. We don't forget the lightning or the crashes, But we smile at every peaceful, quiet sound. (Chorus) After the warfare, the silence starts to heal, After the heartbreak, we learn to truly feel. We’re laying down the armor, stepping in the sun, Realizing we are no longer on the run. Oh, after the warfare, we are starting fresh today, Watching all the shadows wash away. (Bridge) It takes time to mend a fractured spirit, It takes grace to let the anger go. But when the dawn is breaking, I can hear it, A melody of peace begins to grow. (Chorus) After the warfare, the silence starts to heal, After the heartbreak, we learn to truly feel. We’re laying down the armor, stepping in the sun, Realizing we are no longer on the run. Oh, after the warfare, we are starting fresh today, Watching all the shadows wash away.
