Hi, again, Bill. If you go up tho the top righthand corner to the Lyrics and Knowledge advanced search box and put in "@war," without the quotation marks, you will find scads of songs to choose from in the Digital Tradition, also known as the "DT." If you have both the DT and Forum boxes ticked, that will also bring up a bunch of threads with the word war in them, so I'd advise unticking the Forum box before you hit the go button.

One song I've always loved which is positive, yet not specific about war, and does mention strife is Keep on the sunny side. It's in the DT. Also take a look at Folk Song Army and an old Civil War one called Going across the mountain. Don't know if they'd be of interest or appropriate, though. It's been a long time since I've had kids in grade school.:-)
