Live in Peace

Early in the morning
Just as the sun was rising
Came without a warning
The sound of the uprising
Gunfire in the street

Women and children crying
The crunch of marching feet
When a young boy's dying
Why can't we live in peace

We live in troubled times
The shadow of annihilation
Troubles every life
And chills the heart of every nation
Darkness fills the night

She tries to steal your soul away
Killing innocent life
She spreads a shadow through the day
Why can't we live in peace
Why can't we live, no release

You and I, we don't know why so many people cry
You and I, we don't understand the warlike ways of man
Why can't we live in peace
Why can't we live, no release

You and I, we don't know why so many people cry
You and I, we don't understand the warlike ways of man
You and I, we don't know why so many people cry
