No Profit In A Peaceful World

I see this world
Through my small screen
What I see is so obscene
Images of violence, blood and rubble

Deep in my heart
I’ve hoped through time
Hate is outlawed as an ultimate crime
Killings not acceptable or fine

Living in this modern world
Doesn’t feel like its a modern world
It’s continued as a hate filled world
Another failing of this human story

I can’t explain
Cos I don’t know
The conflicts rage
And hatreds grow
Nobody wins
Just lives are lost
Who fires the flames
Ignores the cost

The world’s become a battlefield
So many wars
In so many places
Leaders and Generals
Hell bent on killing

My heart keeps breaking
The more I see
Innocents dying
Defenders defending
And the blood keeps flowing

Throughout my life
I’ve stopped to think
About the lives lost every week
By someones unjust cause feels justified

Can they not see
There’s no reward
When innocent people are slain is ignored
The future’s just prepared for the next warlord

Living in this ugly world
I’m living in a shameful world
Our destiny’s a warring world
There’s no profit in a peaceful world

I can’t explain
Cos I don’t know
The conflicts rage
And hatreds grow
Nobody wins
Just lives are lost
Who fires the flames
Ignores the cost

I can’t explain
Cos I don’t know
The conflicts rage
And hatreds grow
Nobody wins
Just lives are lost
Who fires the flames
Ignores the cost

I can’t explain
Cos I don’t know
The conflicts rage
And hatreds grow
Nobody wins
Just lives are lost
Who fires the flames
Ignores the cost
