Why Fight For Peace?

Why do we fight for peace,
When it only causes war?
Soldiers' casualties and fatalities,
The numbers grow more and more.

The sound of military guns,
Echoing through the air,
They all fight with a thirst for death,
It will never, ever be fair.

And, what if, one day,
We all laid down our arms?
What if we learned to live in harmony,
No pain, no hate, no harm?

And as unlikely as it seems,
That that day will ever come,
I guess that's why we carry on fighting,
Why we keep our hearts and minds numb.

We live with a hope that one day soon,
War will be a thing of the past,
And all we'll know is peace and love --
If only that would last.
