"Dream for Peace"

Truth Is Soft
It Can Be Gentle
It Takes Silence
To Allow You To Feel It

Do You Listen
Or Just Throw It All Away?
Are You Too Busy Proving Your Point
That You Callously Fail To See
The Presence And The Sincerity
Of The Link That Is The Bridge
That Breaks Down The Wall
Between You And Me?

How Many More Battles Need We Wage?
From One Land to Another?
Between One Faith And Another?
From One Language To Another?
Until You Realize
That You Are Fighting With Your Own Brother?

When Will We Be Conflict-Free?
When Can Mankind Have A History of Peace?
How Much More Clearly Can Violence Speak
And Tell You
Its Guns and Warheads Are Weak?

Is It Through The Destruction Of Lives, Limbs, And Family Trees
That Will Make It Plain For You To See
That Conflict Is Destroying Humanity?
