Same Work (Feat. The War And Treaty)

Met this guy a couple years ago
He was standing by the stage after one of my shows
Said he used to serve and now he's retired
And he's busy volunteering as a nurse on the side
I told him thank you for your sacrifice
And your job means a little more mine, but he said

Isn't it the same work
If we're trying to heal the same hurt
Isn't love the whole point of it all
All it takes to be a hero
Is a selfless heart and an open mind
Those five minutes really changed my life

I think about him when I'm on the road
'Cause I've been running into angels everywhere I go
It's the little things that go the longest way
You know the ones who really make the world a better place

Isn't it the same work
If we're trying to heal the same hurt
Isn't love the whole point of it all
All it takes to be a hero
Is a selfless heart and an open mind
Those five minutes really changed my life

Met this guy a couple years ago
He was standing by the stage after one of my shows
It's funny now I never got his name
But I won't forget the moment that I heard him say (say, yeah)

Isn't it the same work (same work)
If we're trying to heal the same hurt (oh)
Isn't love the whole point of it all (isn't love the point of it all)
All it takes to be a hero (hey)
Is a selfless heart and an open mind (yeah)
Those five minutes really changed my life (oh)
Those five minutes really changed my life
