It's a thin line that decides the fate
of those torn between love and hate
To love our country but hate men from another
To divide, conquer, fall, always losing a brother
Is it the weakest in power
who send their strongest to fight?
Are we defending our nation
or is this "you're wrong" and "we're right"?
Will we ever learn from wars of past
and make this fighting cease?

and no war if there's only peace
When minds align thinking war is the answer
unstoppable power is unleashed
But if all unite to think only peace
imagine then the power that can be reached!

My stomach sinks to the
