Nobody Wins

O I wonder, how can killing each other

Bring the human family together 

And achieve a lasting peace.

O I wonder, if we really now the damage

caused by being on the killing fields;

the damages are mental and physical.

Some come home missing limbs.

Some come home in coffins.

Some come home with nightmare dreams

and they live them over and over again

and every night becomes a killing field.

It seems to be a paradox

You see some people think

that we need to go to war

we need to kill each other

in order to have peace

War has no favorites or garauntess

Innocent women and children

are killed maimed and homeless

But none of them are a danger

to any of us.

You see, no matter which side prevails

No matter which country has the victory

It is O so plain to see, nobody wins.

It's just a matter of time before

we will go to war again for the same reaons

for the preservation of our nations

But that trouble is that it doesn't work

It doesn't save the lives of thousands

Many thousands of friends and neighbors die  

I'm not saying anything about

the brave men and woman 

who stand the line against violence

I honor their sacrifices, many of them 

die for us.

What I am saying is it's time

to find a better way  to live in peace

without fear of our enemies.

In the end, you see, nobody wins.
