War Can't Bring Peace
The little boy walks down the street
 
 Watching people cry as they try to fleet
 
 Little boys and men killing everyone
 
 For a war started that juat can not be won
 
 He looks up at women weeping over her boy
 
 He was only ten and his heart destroyed
 
 And to his right he see's people pray
 
 Near the church that was blown up yesterday
 
 He grabs a girls hand and sings real loud
 
 'War can't bring peace, peace is sound'
 
 Everyone stops to see what occurred
 
 But just saw a little boy who wanted to be heard
 
 He looked at them and started to cry 
 
 As the girl let go with no reply
 
 He wanted them to answer but know one did 
 
 So he spoke 'the innocent deserve to live'
 
 Nothing but blank faces filled his sky
 
 So he spoke 'we are all brothers but we take eachothers lives?'
 
 Anger flushed over his face
 
 He thought to himself what is wrong with this place
 
 Just when he was about to walk away
 
 A little boy soldier said to him 'wait!'
 
 He turned around to hear the boy say
 
 'I believe there will be freedom today'
 
 The little boy's face was covered in a smile
 
 As they walked down the street so vile 
 
 They chanted 'war can't bring peace, peace is sound 
 
 We need hope for freedom to be found
 
 The innocent die every day
 
 But god can help us we need to pray'
 
 Again and again the chanted this song
 
 Until all people joined with confessions of wrong
 
 So Now Two little boys lie hand in hand
 
 One a soldier and one now a man
 
 Because speaking up for freedom that one day
 
 They knew that death was the price they must pay
