SOS

Chorus (Speech):
Do you want war, or do you seek peace?
Men can’t give you what they do not possess.
They can’t offer what they don’t have to give,
For peace isn’t in them—and it’s not theirs to give.
The sooner you realize, the better it will be.
The sooner you realize, the better it will be.

Verse1:
Let’s toast to life and to those who treat us kind.
Raise your glass to the heroes we’ve lost over time.
Let’s light a candle for those who fell in wars.
Raise your glass to the heroes we’ve lost over time.

Observe a moment of silence for the good souls we’ve lost—
In Ukraine, Gaza, Congo, Nigeria, Syria, and Ethiopia.
Many children dying, victims of cold-hearted men.
We must rise and unite, day and night, and stand as one.

Chorus (Speech):
Do you want war, or do you seek peace?
Men can’t give you what they do not possess.
They can’t offer what they don’t have to give,
For peace isn’t in them—and it’s not theirs to give.
The sooner you realize, the better it will be.
The sooner you realize, the better it will be.

Verse 2:
We deserve a better world, a world of peace and grace,
Where love rules over all, and harmony heals every space.
From the East to the West, stretching North to the South, worldwide,
We’ll proclaim it boldly and say it with pride!

A better world for the children, a better world they deserve.
A peaceful world for us all, a peaceful world we deserve.
