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
