It'll be a while
It'll be a while before
The soldiers embrace
In their peaceful war games
It'll be a jump
It'll need backup until
A tough course is taken
A clear mind to awaken
Whether or not it's open air
Or underground
In thought, in prayer
When red wide eyes are freely sent
When swinging bridges reconnect
One more time, all over again
Oh how they warn you
They tell you
It is for you
To choose, decide
Cheer you on and
Run and hide
Calendar days will stack up until
It all can be digested
Given fare sized up and tested
Awaiting word, done like dinner
Who's the lover?
Who's the winner?
Hands down, back to our places
Picnic talk when the weather is gracious
Surefire pain in hazy change
Oh how they warn you
They tell you
It is for you
To choose, decide
Cheer you on and
Run and hide
It'll be a while
It'll be a while before
Machines along the boulevard
Restore their role of pushing hard
An uphill climb to commit
Be well, stay well
And work on it
Another try
All over again
Oh how they warn you
They tell you
It is for you
To choose, decide
Cheer you on and
Run and hide
