There's a war outside
And the children are crying
The soldiers are shooting
The people are dying

There's a war outside
The sky looks like it's burning
The land look like it's bleeding
The water has secrets it's churning

The death bells are tolling
Twenty more dead on the side
The bombs are sounding up
There's nowhere left to hide

The death bells are tolling
There's no ending to the violence
What are we fighting for?
Will the guns ever be silenced?

The people are afraid
The children have gone off to fight
The young ones are being trained
None will be coming home tonight

The people are afraid
Because there's nowhere left to hide
It's time to face our fears
There's a war outside

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.- Jimmy Carter

I told my friend he made things so difficult.
He said, ""Life's supposed to be difficult...You get more out of it when it is."
