hostage of peace

feel the silence

there's war beneath our skin

let it begin

it's hard to fight

it's hard to lead resistance

it's our hearts we're up against

this world it keeps us

promising freedom

we thought we could belong

but we don't belong here

don't let us wander

to arms of another

oh father

yours forever

let us be a hostage of peace

we need a rescue

need a love we can't resist

or break our defenses

take us captive

take our thoughts and take control

we're losing control

yeah!

this world it keeps us

promising freedom

we thought we could belong

but we don't belong here

don't let us wander

to arms of another

oh father

yours forever

let us be a hostage of peace

if we're fighting

let it be for your kingdom

if we're violent

let it be against ourselves

come arrest us

with your affection

give us freedom

make our need our only declaration

oh father

keep us

they promised freedom

we though we could belong

but we don't belong here

don't let us wander

to arms of another

oh father

yours forever

let us be a hostage of peace

i'm your hostage
