An Uncivil War

An Uncivil War

[Verse 1]
There’s a war ragin’ on, no boots hit the ground,
No rifles thunderin’,  our words tear us down.
Each scroll is a skirmish, hearts lost in their way,
Every post is a bullet, cuttin’ deeper each day.

[Verse 2]
We used to stand together, face the rising sun,
Now we hurl insults, hidin’ from what we’ve done.
Behind these LCDs, truth don’t stand a chance,
Lost in angry hashtags, we’ve forgotten how to dance.

[Chorus]
This is an uncivil war,
Grudges burn, and no one’s keepin’ score.
Divided by screens, not fields or shore,
The wounds run deeper than ever before.
Can’t we lay our weapons down,
And seek some common ground?
Before we lose this uncivil war.

[Verse 3]
The generals ain’t heroes, just neighbors on the street,
Fightin’ for attention, forgettin’ how to meet.
We paint the world in black and white, no room for shades of gray,
Love lives in the small things, grace leads us the way.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
What if we sat on the porch, watched the sun go down,
Shared a little whiskey, let the world spin ‘round?
Told stories ‘bout our mamas, what we’re tryin’ to get through,
Put down our phones, let the silence heal what’s true.

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Let’s meet in the middle, let love lead the way,
End this uncivil war, and let peace have its day.
