When the bombs fly over the border
And lives are scattered everywhere
And war makes chaos out of order
And the fear’s so thick, you can’t breath the air
It’s hard to know about tomorrow
Will all your dreams be blown away
It’s easier to resent
And to waste the present
And plan to send harm back their way
Chorus:
(But) dreaming is making peace with the future
Forgiveness is making peace with the past
It’s easy to see, it’s as simple as you and me
The time is now to make a peace that lasts
When the missiles fly over the ocean
And madmen play with their fantasy
It’s hard to think with that commotion
It’s hard to know what we might see
(Chorus)
And so my friends, I have an idea
It came to me many years ago
Let’s put war in a box
And close up all the locks
Hug the kids and throw away the key
‘Cause dreaming is making peace with their future
Forgiveness is making peace with the past
IIt’s easy to see, it’s as simple as you and me
The time is now to make a peace that lasts
Yes, Dreaming is making peace with the future
Forgiveness is easy if you know how
It’s easy to see, it’s as simple as you and me
The only time for making peace is now
The only ones who can make peace are you and me
And the only time for making peace is now.
And lives are scattered everywhere
And war makes chaos out of order
And the fear’s so thick, you can’t breath the air
It’s hard to know about tomorrow
Will all your dreams be blown away
It’s easier to resent
And to waste the present
And plan to send harm back their way
Chorus:
(But) dreaming is making peace with the future
Forgiveness is making peace with the past
It’s easy to see, it’s as simple as you and me
The time is now to make a peace that lasts
When the missiles fly over the ocean
And madmen play with their fantasy
It’s hard to think with that commotion
It’s hard to know what we might see
(Chorus)
And so my friends, I have an idea
It came to me many years ago
Let’s put war in a box
And close up all the locks
Hug the kids and throw away the key
‘Cause dreaming is making peace with their future
Forgiveness is making peace with the past
IIt’s easy to see, it’s as simple as you and me
The time is now to make a peace that lasts
Yes, Dreaming is making peace with the future
Forgiveness is easy if you know how
It’s easy to see, it’s as simple as you and me
The only time for making peace is now
The only ones who can make peace are you and me
And the only time for making peace is now.
