There's bombings and terrors and books full of war crimes
And countries are filled with the wounded and wronged
It would take years to explain the politics
But all I can write is a love song
Earthquakes and hurricanes tear up the heartland
The only thing stopping the fire is the flood
I could use a thousand words to report the loss
But all I can write is a love song
After the fall of the wall comes the cleaning up
The heartache of homes displaced by ideals
It will take years to recover from damages that we've done
But all I can write is a love song
Here we lie a world apart
Burning the bridge that we traveled on
Outside on the lawn, my furniture and a couple guitars
But all I can write is a love song
