Subject: RE: BS: Give Peace a Chance
I wrote this peace song after Sept 11th but sing it regularly and it always gets a good reception. I have posted it before on Mudcat but it still says all I want to say about the situation.


PEACE IN OUR TIME


Peace in our time
The politicians said
But since that time
How many millions dead
And when the bombs fall from the sky
And when we hear the bullets fly
How often will we hear the cry
For peace in our time


Peace in our time
Thats what the children heard
Peace in our time
And they believed the words
Yet nations still prepare for war
Breaking God and Nature's law
How many more will die before
There's peace in our time


Peace in our time
Thats the dream to hold
Peace in our time
Before we grow old
An end to all hostility
So everyone on Earth is free
To live their lives in harmony
With peace in our time.
