Not Won By War
Peace cannot be won by war
Nor can victory be achieved
A battle cry's a child's tears
That's what I believe
A bomb, a gun, a fire spreads
Water cannot contain
Burning deep within our hearts
Each death a loss in vain
Stand together weapons withdrawn
Fix the bonds the battle tore
Again we'll learn the hard way
Peace cannot be won by war
