Departures cover
10. Love is the Rebel Song
Album: Departures
Artist: Jon Foreman
         
 

The fight is where we’re born
To a hope that fees malformed
In a world at war love is the rebel song

Blue skies of my dreams
Remind me where to sing
In a world at war love is the rebel song

Grey sky skies and cloudy skies
All the world is sympathizing
All the world feels sorry for the dreamer in your head
White lies and alibis and
All the world is terrified yeah
All the world is worried that the dreamer might be dead

If today knows no justice
I’m better off staying maladjusted

Sing to me a melody for the ones who will never win
Songs of dreamers In-betweeners the ones that will never fit in
Where the wars go on and on
Love is the rebel song

Back before the war began
You and our children then
We took our dreams and turned them in
And traded them for guns
Every day becomes a crisis
Left to our own devices
We traded in our dreams to fight these wars that can’t be won

If war is our loudest song
I still refuse to sing along

Which is best to win
A captive or a friend
In a world at war love is the rebel song

If today we don’t belong
Let us sing tomorrow’s song
Where the wars go on and on
Love is the rebel song
