in times long past
in times long past before we learned
about ideas and got burned
men lived in peace with one another
and knew each to be his brother
but in time we lost our way
how this happened i can't say
maybe this was meant to be
a plan of life to help us see
as i said i know not why
yet these results make my heart cry
it seems that all we learned is hate
and at times it seems too late
can all this change - the mind does wonder
must the guns all roar like thunder
if we continue on this way
night will soon engulf the day
the children all will lose their home
all will grieve and wail and moan
just because we forsake love
and with our armies crushed the dove
there is still time the heart does say
but we must return to the way
all thought of what to be must go
an open heart and mind can know
about ideas and got burned
men lived in peace with one another
and knew each to be his brother
but in time we lost our way
how this happened i can't say
maybe this was meant to be
a plan of life to help us see
as i said i know not why
yet these results make my heart cry
it seems that all we learned is hate
and at times it seems too late
can all this change - the mind does wonder
must the guns all roar like thunder
if we continue on this way
night will soon engulf the day
the children all will lose their home
all will grieve and wail and moan
just because we forsake love
and with our armies crushed the dove
there is still time the heart does say
but we must return to the way
all thought of what to be must go
an open heart and mind can know
