Peace

There are so many places
Where people burn
Because there aren't enough spaces for everyone's turn
Too much power
Makes us wrong
We can't flower
Where pain is lifelong

Just close your eyes
And realize
Peace is not so far away
If we'd only let it stay

Why do we kill
When all we need to do is sing
Pass out goodwill
And you'll never have to sting
The dying
Will be unnecessary
An end to all crying
Let's be revolutionary

When those who are supposed to protect us
Jump up and hurt as the most
Will we let them oppress us?
We won't be ignored, like ghosts
We'll take our lives back
And if our world is good
We won't have to attack
And we'll finally be understood

Religion won't be a barrier
Culture won't be a wall
Peace is not so far away
If we only let it stay
