Despite the miseries

And the constant lessons learned from history

The pattern still repeats

Never to surrender don't you ever repeat



How far have we really come?

Until the ones who are leading us

Make peace their resolution tonight

Make peace your resolution tonight



There's an arms race to be run

Building bigger better dagger headed bombs

So lets drink to the daughters and sons

Never to return to their mother's arms



For every battle lost and won are these the ones that we offer up?
