Lyrics
I have laid down my weapons after many years at war
all the time that we were fighting didn't know what we were fighting for
I have found a place in the light after wandering alone in the dark
never-ending empty nights In search of that elusive spark
Now I'm finally living free
free of the chains that bound me
now at last my eyes can see
yeah love has finally found me
A million poets penning verse
and many minstrels playing
but what's the good to humankind
if we don't hear what they're saying
It's time we all laid down our weapons before they lay us all to waste
all our machinery and money might destroy this precious place
release the chains that bind your heart
tear down the walls that keep apart
erase the lines between life and art let the healing finally start
we should all be living free free of the chains that bound us yeah our eyes should finally see that love is all around us
we can be free if we want to people It's all in the way we treat each other
