Steps in peace have become faded footprints, they greet you with a gun.
Marching for the pride of one, while the many scream for their fallen son.
Endless quests while promises not kept they welcome all to come.

Thousands of years of conflict, over promised lands occur.
Thinking things will change in a few years, seems overly disturbed.
Murder in the name of peace to justify this escalating the war.
Promises of a full retreat your lies seem so absurd.

Children die in the line of fire, with no one to get the blame.
Family destroyed in a flash while the heros fade in flames.
Coming home is never easy, when you feel guilt for the governments crimes.
We need to walk away from this its time to change the times.

Our planets in peril and the fighting seems to never cease.
Our world does not belong to us, we only really lease.
To destroy the future with distraught hands seems overly immature.
Peace is not a bargaining tool, Its really just a cure.

Drop the hate and look to your fellow man, we are all confused and scared.
If we do not take action our history will show we never cared.
If social disobedience is the answer to show that we are doing are part.
Then lets take it to the street, i think its time to start.
