i know how to protest war (but how to make peace) - ben lorentzen lyrics

i watched them all gathering and the roar was loud and clear
as they all shouted headlines out of anger and of fear
and the faces of the guilty ones was put up on the wall
i can hear the pleads, i despise their deeds
i know how to protest war but how to make peace?

i watched them all marching and the roar was loud and clear
as they went to the battlefields filled with anger and with fear
and once you found your enemies you can put thеm against the wall
i can hear the shеars, it is loud and fierce
i know how to go to war, but how to find peace?

i watched them all crawling and bleeding and dying
their shouts waving through their flags
“for fatherland and freedom”
the command attached to their backs
from ashes to ashes fighting evil on both side
i can hear their screams, its the same old themes
i know how to cry for war, but how to make peace?

“let your loss be your lesson” but what can we afford to lose to learn?
how do you piece together something that has been crushed or burnt?
and while we k!ll our brothers and make our sisters cry
i can take the streets, make a thousand pleads
i know how to protest war but how to make peace
i don’t think peace is a thought
i don’t believe faith is enough
i could put my hope in elections
but i got a growing suspicion that its all a bluff
so i sing my song to the little man, taking one step at a time
sure: we all got blames, but i’m tired of their games
next time war is declared
what if no one came?
i know peace is more
than just end of war
before it is all torn apart
where do we start…?
