Call to Arms



Brothers
Lay down
Your weapons
And 
Open your arms

You wage 
War
With an
Illusory foe
Far closer 
To home
Than you realize

Relinquish 
An unseen enemy
And 
Embrace
Your visible
Pain

You are seen
You are loved

It is time
To extend
For yourself
A Heroes welcome

Come home
Embrace
The agony
Extricate yourselves
From within 
The excruciating walls 
Of self-abandoned
Exile

Gather yourselves
Come together
Brothers
 (In each others) 
Arms
Love 
Each other
Until 
You can
Love yourselves

We need
Your hearts & souls
Here & now
"All hands on deck..."
Need you now
You are 
Loved 
More than you 
Can imagine

Won't you 
Please
Check-in 
And see
