Warning

The meadow stretches into green lawns before high walls, where children run

Jet engines roaring, fly, the chariots of War, bristling with missiles

Question everything, consider the children, forced to march in columns

War poisons the mind, justifies violence, and ruins the spirit

War robs the people of justice, turning its victims into heroes

Sip from the sour milk, throw stones at your oppressors, force arms on the poor

We stand and we fall, a society of pawns, ignorant and true

Trumpets blare, the faithful gather stones, to hurl them at the enemy

The ageless charade, sustenance from pain, succor from violence, shame

There can be no peace in a heart filled with vengeance, resentments linger

It will never end, all victories are hollow, the wheel keeps turning

The meadow stretches into green lawns before high walls, where children run

In a better world, playgrounds would not need fences, children would compete

In games as friends, they would not throw rocks at soldiers, in a better world

Our wealth should be used to educate, care for the elderly, not war

Missiles in space, to feed our fears, the hungry ghosts of nuclear war

We are one family orbiting this blue world beneath our yellow sun

Lies do not nourish, we must not cling to them, the enemy is us

Peace comes from peace, not war, and goodwill from goodwill, we must aim for these

Set aside our greed, fear and hatred, love one another, you and me

We are one big family
