No War, Just Love

Banging on the block, hear the echoes in the rubble,

World in my palm, but it’s feeling like trouble.

Heart beats heavy, like the kick in the bass,

Tears on the pavement, scars on a face.

Bullets whisper secrets, metal tongues sing pain,

Rain of fire falls, but we pray for the rain.

Hunger in the streets, but it’s love that we crave,

Digging for some peace, digging out of the grave.

We don’t want war, just love, just love,

Hands to the sky, lift us up above.

No more blood, just trust, just trust,

Heal these streets with the power of us.

Missiles in the sky but the kids want a future,

World so cold, every step like a suture.

Building bridges out of words, stacking bricks of hope,

Dreams tied together with a frayed piece of rope.

Fire in my soul, but it’s warmth that I’m seeking,

Lost in the noise, but the silence is speaking.

Turn the tables, spin the track, let’s rewrite the tune,

A world of love, not a world gone too soon.

Dreams rise higher, on the wings of a dove,

Ashes to ashes, but we rise above.

Fingers trace the skyline, drawing peace signs,

Rewind the pain, forward to better times.
