Live to See

Live to See

We know what it can do
Yet we’ve forgotten the truth
The threat has been shrouded from view.
The darkest cloud in the sky
Shadows of victims left behind
Hiroshima never again!

I want to live to see the end of the endless war
Bury the hatchet. Bury the sword
I want to leave my children’s children
A lush green world.
Further escalation we can not afford
If we are to live to see the end of the endless war!

Does it make us feel safe,
Despite the treaties that we make?
Do we risk the chance to share in the same fate?
Distorted facts and secret wars
Borne on the backs of the poor
I thought that war was to be our last resort?

I want to live to see the end of the endless war
Bury the hatchet. Bury the sword
I want to leave my children’s children
A lush green world.
Further escalation we can not afford
If we are to live to see the end of the endless war!

Now is the time
For changing hearts and minds
The future is ours to design

I want to live to see the end of the endless war
Bury the hatchet. Bury the sword
I want to leave my children’s children
A lush green world.
Further escalation we can not afford
If we are to live to see the end of the endless war!
