Don’t Turn on Your Own

[Intro] There was a time we stood shoulder to shoulder With a storm rolling in like thunder We didn’t ask who was right or wrong Just held the rope and pulled together [Verse 1] We had a reason, we had a name For the fear that kept us tight But when the dust fell and the danger went still We didn’t know how to live without the fight [Pre-Chorus] Now the silence feels like something’s wrong Like peace don’t feel like home So we go looking for trouble, Lord When we should just let it go [Chorus] Don’t turn on your own when the enemy’s gone Don’t trade love for a fight that’s done We were better side by side back then We could be again if we just hold on Let go of that hurt inside Ain’t no victory in what we’ve become If the battle’s won and the sky’s all clear Why we still fighting here? [Verse 2] We start drawing lines in the same old dirt Where we used to stand as one Now it’s neighbor against neighbor’s heart Over shadows of a fight long gone [Bridge] The hurt we aimed at someone else Is what we’re living with right now We salt the ground beneath our feet Then wonder why love won’t grow somehow [Final Chorus] Don’t turn on your own when the enemy’s gone Ain’t no glory in tearing apart We could ride out free in the open fields With nothing but time and an easy heart Back in the saddle, no reins pulled tight No need to run, no need to fight If the fight is done, let it stay that way Let love have its day [Outro] Yeah, if the fight is done… Let it stay that way…
