Description
This is my peace protest song - originally a relationship angst song that I co-wrote with Alexander "Ace" Baker. The Iraq War seems never ending and I felt these tracks would be better served with a more important message: let's live in peace starting today! Call me a pacifist and wishful thinker, but I believe that it's time for us to evolve and become more enlightened.
Lyrics
We shoot tons of weapons Oh why does it start? No one wins the battle With a world blown apart Screaming voices echo through my head People are marked in blood stained red And more families mourn for the dead I can’t pretend till the bitter end Fighting for victory’s the only way We can threaten again Or try to be friends And I’d rather say Let’s live in peace Starting today Starting today There are children praying Who’ve lost all they’ve known Will they find some comfort Or worry alone They may be bruised but hearts heal strong And memories last a whole life long We all grow to learn right from wrong I can’t pretend till the bitter end Fighting for victory’s the only way We can threaten again Or try to be friends And I’d rather say Let’s live in peace Starting today The lives we lose Are too high a price to pay I can’t pretend till the bitter end Fighting for victory’s the only way We can threaten again Or try to be friends And I’d rather say Let’s live in peace Starting today I’ll fight for love Would you be my friend Till the bitter end I’ll be right here I’ll fight for love Till the bitter end (c) 2012 All Rights Reserved
