lyrics

On a Clear Day,
Take a deep breath
And say:
"Brother, let us choose life
Over death,
Today."
For when "I" and "enemy" exist together,
There is no room left for our treasure
I have heard it said
That: "The pursuit of peace
Is the necessary rational end
Of rational men."
Let us be rational then,
For there is no more urgent task
Than to end the need for the question
Wartorn children often ask:
"Where is my sister?"
"Where is my brother?"
"Where is my father?"
"Where is my mother?"
Far better then
We keep our heads
And see our children fed

On a Clear Day,
A true day,
On an every atom that belongs to me,
As good belongs to you day,
Would you pick up a gun
And Shoot someone?
Would you listen to the general or statistician?
Media pundit or politician?
The influencer whose insistence on victory
Would condemn to slaughter
Another mother’s
Son or daughter?
For the lie of victory at all costs,
Is written in the crimson mud;
You cannot wash away
Blood with blood.
As no just cause
Can be called just
When a child lies buried
Under rubble and dust
