Lyrics

No Time for War
Verse 1
There’s a radio playing in the kitchen
Old records spinning soft and slow
Two shadows moving on the curtains
Like a story only love can know
Outside the world keeps turning restless
Arguments in every town
But for a moment in this room tonight
All the noise just settles down
Pre-Chorus
Hands find hands, the music starts
And something changes in our hearts
Chorus
When you are dancing you don’t have time for war
No room for anger on a crowded floor
Two hearts moving to a simple song
And suddenly the fight feels wrong
For a little while the world restores
When you are dancing you don’t have time for war
Verse 2
A thousand borders drawn between us
Lines someone decided long ago
But music never learned those boundaries
It only asks you move slow
Different languages and colors
Different prayers beneath the sky
But rhythm doesn’t care about that
It just asks your feet to try
Pre-Chorus
Step by step the walls come down
When strangers turn and spin around
Chorus
When you are dancing you don’t have time for war
No room for hatred on a crowded floor
Two souls laughing to a simple song
And suddenly the fight feels wrong
For a little while the world restores
When you are dancing you don’t have time for war
Bridge
Maybe peace is not a speech
Maybe peace is not a plan
Maybe peace begins the moment
Someone reaches out a hand
Final Chorus
When you are dancing you don’t have time for war
No room for anger on a crowded floor
Just a beat, a heart, a moving crowd
Where hope can sing a little louder now
For a moment life is what it’s for
When you are dancing you don’t have time for war
Outro
So turn the music up tonight
Let every troubled heart restore…
Because when you are dancing
You don’t have time for war.
