End the Battle

It's time for the battle to end Lay down your arms why can't we just be friends Life wasn't meant to be this way It's time for us to stop the fighting today The young we bring into life must see That peace is what we want to achieve Its time for the battle to end Lay down your arms why can't we just be friends Life wasn't meant to be this way It's time for us to stop the fighting today The bloodshed has gone on to long Why must the innocent be scorned For what did they ever do wrong It's time for the battle to end Lay down your arms why can't we just be friends Life wasn't meant to be this way It's time for us to stop the fighting today Open your eyes and look around What have you achieved in this land There's nothing but greed, misery and hate Is this what we really want to relate It's time for the battle to end Lay down your arms why can't we just be friends Life wasn't meant to be this way It's time for us to stop the fighting today Now's the time to find a better way Restore the peace and hope we need Just put an end to the fighting please It's time for the battle to end Lay down your arms why can't we just be friends Life wasn't meant to be this way It's time for us to stop the fighting today Date: 1998

There are people who have been fighting for generations And I am sure they have no idea why. I forget the name of the song but there is a village that fights over a treasure an when they dig it up the stone says peace and good will to man.
