Lyrics

Well, look at yourself now
Swinging that sword around
You think there's something there
But you're just fighting air
You can't do this alone

Hush, little boy, don't say a word
Don't you know daddy's got this one?
Hey, little boy, bury your sword
Jesus already won this war

Heroes will be heroes
The first to volunteer
But no one here is asking
And all the lines are clear
All who are weak, at ease

You push yourself too hard
And your feet get so tired
Can't look back just yet
Or you might lose this fight
This is not your fight

Hush, little boy, don't say a word
Don't you know daddy's got this one?
Hey, little boy, bury your sword
Jesus already won this war
