Another Song for Peace

by Don DeBar Sunday, May. 25, 2003 at 9:38 AM
debar@bestweb.net

This is a tune that was written and recored in one weekend, beginning one Friday evening in 1991 during the week after the first war on Iraq began.

Peace Medley by Don DeBar and Friends

When I was a kid

In school

We pulled the lids of our desks down

Put our heads on the ground and

Waited for The Bomb's sounds

Every night

Dreams of fire and light

And the end of it all

We were just so small

Huddled in the dark halls

Didn't they see

The world they'd made up for their kids

Was going down?

Wasn't that enough to wake them up?

Watched the NV

On our home TV

And saw the bombs fly

Watched the people die

And the mothers cry

Cousins Joe and Phil

Both came home killed

I was next to die

Could feel the end nigh

So I asked "Why?"

Couldn't they see

The world they'd made up for us kids

Was going down?

Wasn't that enough to wake them up?

Peace

Mir

Paz

Pax

Shalom

Amani

Hei-wa

Ping-Yon

Planes start to fly

Dark Birds flying high

Thought we had enough -

Ain't it been enough?

Ain't that enough?

So many people dyin'

Cities burning in the sky

Ain't that enough

To wake you up?

Please won't you wake up!

Can't you see

The world we're leaving to our kids

Is going down?

Ain't that enough to wake you up?

Peace

Mir

Paz

Pax

Shalom

Amani

Hei-wa

Ping-Yon
