I am brains not brawns,

I wonder if their will be another dawn,

I hear sad sighs,

I see faces of lies,

I want a peaceful night,

I am brains not brawns.


I pretend everything will be alright,

I feel tears of our fallen soldier,

I touch the faces cold as boulders,

I worry this war may never end,

I cry at the site of homeless children,

I am brains not brawns.


I understand our world isn't perfect,

I say is it even worth it,

I dream of a world without hate,

I try not to arrive at a discussion late,

I hope someday the world will change,

I am brains not brawns.
