War and Peace
War is a parasite that feeds on anger and hate
It robs you of all perspective and you seep into an acrimonious state
Peace is a guiding light in our darkest hour
It reminds us of love and all of its power
War will take your husband, war will take your wife
War will take your memories, war will take your life
Peace will give you hope when you really need it
And we must all work together if we hope to achieve it
War has taught me to cherish second chances
And that you can’t bow down to circumstances
Peace teaches me to take every day in stride
Because I still go on while others have died
We must keep our heads high even when our best and brightest fall down
And take heart at their great courage and renown
So once you here that cannon release
Give it up for war and peace
