WAR, PRAY FOR ME
Thought of living a peaceful life
Dreaming of achieving the goal of our desire
Hoping for the great things the future hold
All were put on hold due to WAR.
Children go to school without imagining a breakdown in education.
Parents find their daily green pasture not thinking of lying down low.
The word is heavy to say, seeing the tears of the people, seeing the lifeless bodies of survival, I will say surviving is no guarantee anymore.
War has stolen that from us, war has taken away our peace, war has invited death.
Why fight ourselves, when we can settle our differences
Why kill ourselves when we can call for a peaceful meeting.
Why taking pleasures for power, delighted in weapons, holding strong to the missiles, rockets, machine guns and jet bombers.
Why the war?
Weapons have been the only Language to war
Why the war?
War is for the strong, war is for those who love it, war is for those who cause it, not for innocent civilians, why the war?
Pray for me when you can
That we might live in peace
Pray for me when can that I shouldn't die in my sleep.
Pray for me when you think and remember me, pray that we live to see ourselves in love
Let the bond be strong, be my brother's keeper, that the coalition should flow.
Let's take each other burden, that we might lightly our weight. Pray for me when you can that we should live and smile. Pray for me even in my flaws that I shouldn't flow like a flood.
Pray that we might not be a prey
Victory shouldn't be a history
But rather more of reality.
Let's be optimistic in our pursuit
Pray for me, that I should be an asset not a nonsensical debacle of war.
Helping each other when will can
That we might avoid pitying our kind
Pray that war should cease because is better to envy ourselves than to feel sorry for our cost.
Pray that we should stay
Pray for me when you can.
Pray for the peace to stay
War I pray to cease.
