WE DON'T NEED THIS CRUEL WAR
We don’t need this cruel war -
Let no child cry anymore!
We don't want a world in pain,
Let the cities bloom again.
If there's kindness in your soul,
Peace must be our common goal.
With respect and hearts so pure,
Human warmth will long endure.
Let the birds sing in the trees,
Children play in cheerful breeze.
No more battles, blood, or tears -
Let us banish war for years.
Let the sky not wear a frown,
Sun and moon - not bombs - look down.
Let us sleep beneath the stars,
Free from fear, and free from scars.
Let the dawn rise full of peace,
Evenings bring our minds release.
Let love, pure as winter snow,
Break the chains of hate and woe.
We don’t need this cruel war,
Let it vanish evermore!
Life is one - a sacred flame,
Peace and love must be our aim!
Let all nations stand as friends,
Peace and hope - the path that mends!
