Lyrics

Imaginary Battles
Jenny Bienemann


The children in my house fight imaginary battles

They need some kind of conflict just to have something to play

As the children in my house fight their imaginary battles

I’m reminded of how, as children, we used to play


Chorus

Oh the things we’d conjure and the things we’d say

It defies all explanation

My grown up life bears the truth of what they say

What you learn in childhood you replay


The parents in my house fight unimaginable battles

We need some kind of conflict just to let us know we’re OK

As the parents in my house fight their unimaginable battles

I’m reminded of how as children we used to play


Chorus

The children in my house fight imaginary battles

They need some kind of conflict just to have something to play

As the children in my house fight their imaginary battles

I’m reminded of how, as children, we said it wouldn’t end this way
