Peace

There are those who walk with banners
Some sing their songs of war
Many people pass right by
They pay no heed at all
Lots of people wonder, They try to understand
Lets look toward the children
For they stand on common land.
What sin is this that makes them suffer so?
It seems it is the children that really only know
No barriers of colour
No barriers of war,
Not caring if they ever see a soldier anymore
All they ask is peace
A chance to live
Is this too much for us to want to give?

No barriers of colour
No barriers of war,

If only it could be, it's there within our grasp, our fingers reach out........ we can feel it, yet it burns both hot and cold....... but who has the courage to grasp it Valerie
