How Do You Explain War?

[Verse 1]
How do you explain this war
To innocent kids wanting to soar
Friends and fiends all intertwined
No happy endings, it’s a tragic find

[Chorus]
Cease fire, let love ascend
Long-term peace, let’s amend
Wars leave stains on our souls
Innocence shattered, hope unfolds

[Verse 2]
Why do the grown-ups fight so loud?
Who’s the hero, who’s the proud?
Little feet run from shattered dreams,
While leaders gamble on cruel regimes

[Pre-Chorus]
But where do the kites fly now?
Do they dance in the same blue sky?
Or have we clipped their wings
With every tear and every lie?

[Chorus]
Cease fire, let love ascend
Long-term peace, let’s amend
Wars leave stains on our souls
Innocence shattered, hope unfolds

[Bridge]
Dandelions blown to the wind
Whispered wishes that never mend
But in the cracks, new flowers grow
Even in the dark, their roots will show

[Outro]
No more bombs, just lullabies
No more tears in children’s eyes
Let them dream, let them play
In a world where peace can stay
