Can man ever understand
The cry of the innocents in foreign lands
Or the anguish shared on our own soil.

Death and destruction taken its toll,
Peace interrupted it commonplace,
Retaliation occurs at a rapid pace?

"Vengeance is mine", saith the Most High,
But at the lamb the lion has roared,
Suicide missions perceived as valor,
Signs of compromise keep growing paler.

Guns, bombs and loss of lives
Where is peace when no one survives?
Where is righteousness in each barren region?
Bands of rebels form separate legions.

Why can't leaders agree together in unity?

Children, Youths, Adult and Old, it's time
We fight for what we believe (PEACE).
