QUOTES

What are we fighting for?

Today may seem hopeless filled with war and fear
But we can change the darkness if we but persevere.
And if we seize this moment and hold on to our belief
Then I know that we can live in peace.

Care for all the animals they need our help
Care for all the children stop thinking of ourselves.
And if we work together to try for harmony
Someday we will live in peace

Tell the leaders of every land
Over and over so they understand
Military madness has gone too far
In our world today there is no room for war.

Tell the people of all lands
Let's get together the future is in our hands.
United nations have to agree
To say no to war, and yes to peace.

We believe in talking not fighting
