Peace
Here it is planted
Here it is harvested
But for the flower to bloom it needs to be watered
It needs to be nurtured for the flower of peace to bloom
It needs to be given with love and much more
It takes a lot and a lot needs to change
A lot of willpower and attitude
To be able to harvest peace, you have to run after it and be quick!
To be able to harvest the fruit, you have to fight for it, and you have to be a warrior!
(FOR PEACE WE SING WE YELL, FOR PEACE I DO MORE I MAKE WAR)
I go to fight
I go armed with courage and awareness
Love, hope
Injustice is the worst violence
I want peace, I want change
Yes, dignity for every citizen
More respect, less discrimination
No to inequality, no to impunity
I can't get used to this complacency
I'm bothered and I can't be like this
Because I need peace
But peace also needs me
Peace needs us, peace needs us
From our fight, from our voice
Peace, where are you?
Where do you live?
Where do you lie?
Where do you reside?
Where do we find you?
Where do you cry?
Where are we?
Where do we bury you?
What home do you inhabit?
Where did we go wrong?
Come back, resurrect!
Has peace died?
Is peace dead?
Did we not hear when peace knocked on the door?
Peace that has no place at the school gate,
Peace selling candy,
Peace begging for alms,
Peace sniffing glue, turning into adolescence,
Behind a gun, turning into violence.
Does peace exist?
Is peace sad?
Does peace get tired of misery and give up?
Peace that has no chance
Peace that doesn't work
Peace doing odd jobs, earning a crumb,
On the edge of the razor
Sleeping on the newspaper
Behind a machine gun
Becoming a criminal.
(FOR PEACE WE SING WE YELL, FOR PEACE I DO MORE I MAKE WAR)
Does peace attack?
Is peace weak?
Does peace want more than living in a tent?
Peace that has no land
Peace that has nothing
Peace that only gets screwed
Desperate peace
Peace that is massacred fighting for justice
Behind a hoe, turning into a terrorist.
Does peace scare?
Is peace fair?
Does peace have a price?
How much does it cost!
Peace that has no race
Nor good appearance
Peace doesn't come for free
Peace is a consequence
Peace, let's do it
Without weight and without measure
The peace of this smoke
Peace turning into life.
Peace that has no deadline
Peace that demands urgency
It won't be by chance
Peace is a consequence
It's not a coincidence or anything like that
We make peace like a plate of food.
(FOR PEACE WE SING WE YELL, FOR PEACE I DO MORE I MAKE WAR)
I go to fight
I go armed with courage and awareness
Love and hope
Injustice is the worst violence
I want peace
I want change
Violence is not just from drug dealers
Cowardice is not just from the police
Violence is also from the rulers
From important men
I don't know who kills more!
How do we measure violence
In the emergency rooms of hospitals
The pain and suffering
The children who are not born
The parents who die without care
What is the seriousness of a million-dollar robbery committed by some authority?
Who has immunity and buys freedom
While the honest citizen lives behind bars
Afraid of an armed robbery
Paying high taxes and receiving nothing
What is the level of danger?
Of lack of school and employment, of prison and shelter?
Who is the worst enemy?
The parents of corruption
Or the children of the beggar?
Who is the great culprit?
The thief who has a hundred years of forgiveness or you who vote wrong?
(FOR PEACE WE SING WE YELL, FOR PEACE I DO MORE I MAKE WAR)
I fight for peace...
