We make our prayer
In the name of that God
Whose name is Peace
And Decency, and Unity
And Love
Amen
The sun broke thru the clouds
On the 17th of May
They gathered in the parking lot
Bowed their heads to pray
Father in the heavens
Won’t You show us the way...
That we might study war no more
George and Father Phil
Recruited the nine
In the town of Catonsville
Addressed the country’s crimes
Lay down your swords
So said the Lord
Now is the time
That we might study war no more
War No More…
War No More…
Lay down your swords
So said the Lord
And study war no more
They entered the building
Seized the records marked A-1
Ignited them with napalm
To end what had begun
As the files burned
They said, “Thy will be done”
That we might study war no more
War No More…
War No More…
Lay down your swords
So said the Lord
And study war no more
In the name of that God
Whose name is Peace
And Decency, and Unity
And Love
Amen
The sun broke thru the clouds

War No More…
Lay down your swords
So said the Lord
And study war no more
