When The War Is Over

[Verse 1] Children clutch pillows with daddy's face Another morning breaks with air raid grace But in my dreams I see the day When all our soldiers find their way Back home at last, back home to stay [Chorus] When the war is over We'll rebuild these walls Plant gardens in the spring Watch our children play When the war is over We'll count those who remain And through our tears we'll smile As planes cross peaceful skies again [Verse 2] There's an empty chair at every table Silent phones that once held voices dear But I dream of festivals of flowers And laughter ringing crystal clear By the Black Sea shore, no mines to fear [Chorus] When the war is over We'll rebuild these walls Plant gardens in the spring Watch our children play When the war is over We'll count those who remain And through our tears we'll smile As planes cross peaceful skies again [Bridge] I dream of weddings we'll celebrate Of prisoners returning through the gate Of dolphins dancing in the foam Of every soldier coming home Every city rising from the stone [Final Chorus] When the war is over We'll heal what's torn apart Plant sunflowers in the fields Where tanks once rolled dark When the war is over We'll count the cost we've paid But Ukraine will rise again Stronger for the price we've paid [Outro] And the children will sleep in peace at last No more holding photos of the past When the war is over... When the war is over... At last
