In Their Time

In a world of hunger and a world of pain
What right have we to go to war again?
In a world of anger and a world of fear
Is there no other answer than to bring death near?
Are we all so stupid? Are we all so blind?
Can't we see that we're killing all the race: mankind?
Can we stop the hunger? Can we stop the war?
If it serves no purpose what is fighting fo?
If we share our troubles and we share the world,
If we share all problems and help bear the load,
Can't we make a difference? Can't we all be friends?
Where is the reason in the hostile trends?
If we talk together we can work it out.
Your son
And my son
And every child of man -
Every child of every race
Needs peace -
Now in hand!
Our age of warfare is at an end.
Their age of loving will make all men friends.

For Ashley, Azure, Brandy, Brittainy, Bobbie, Heidi, and Jenny. You are the future.
