Had I Been a Peaceful Fighter
Had I been a peaceful fighter 1
I’d carry my gun
And daily sit in the sun
Only near the sea
For everyone to see
Had I been a nonviolent fighter 6
I’d certainly need a gun
I would have lots of fun
And wouldn’t shoot anyone
Because I love everyone
A passive warrior had I been 11
A gun, I would need
For no living creature I would kill
But help communities build a mill
To make my people keen
Had I been a diplomatic fighter 16
I would need a gun
That no person would fear
For that is a pacific gun
That is not disgraceful
The harmless gun I would carry 21
Would make me a people’s soldier
That would close the hole
At my gun’s nose
To bring peace to the world.
