Rise Up, Take Heed

Rise up, take heed,

on what we've learned,

from fathers long ago.



Remember what they preached to us,

on walls, in books

and know.



For what they've said,

is what we've seen,

for years and years gone by,

that war and sorrow, in man and child,

is leading us all to die.



Take heed before you enter in,

the game of war of man.



Rise up, take heed

let children live,

then our future will withstand.
