A hundred words come to me A hundred thoughts in my head A hundred reasons ifs & buts But no answers I am fed A thousand years could pass A thousand tears could cry A thousand prayers I could make And I still wouldn't know why A million innocent children A million lives have been lost A million soldiers around the world Yet civilians count the cost A second to lay down their guns A second to spare a friend A second to save a thousand lives And bring all wars to end. Just a few people in the world Could choose to make amends Just a few minutes of their lives And nations could be friends Just one reason is all it needs And that is love for all Just one reason to stop hurting To make life beautiful A squillion stars up in the sky Up there the world is one For even when they chant victory Nobody seems to have won |
