There Is Another Way
/A lyric for a folk-style acoustic ballad offering an alternative to war
————
Look out across the world
There’s battle flags unfurled
Armies march out to fight
Guns blazing in the night
Planes, bombs and missiles fly
Soldiers are sacrificed
There is another way
Reject our fears and hate
Reach out in trust and love
Let fly the peaceful dove
There is another way
Gas, bullets, bombs destroyed
Great cities are destroyed
Ships sink beneath the sea
Widows and orphans flee
Destruction, pain and grief
All fueled by fear and greed
There is another way
Reject our fears and hate
Reach out in trust and love
Let fly the peaceful dove
There is another way
War does not have to be
It’s up to you and me
We can make all wars cease
Bring forth a lasting peace
There is another way
Reject our fears and hate
Reach out in trust and love
Let fly the peaceful dove
There is another way
There is another way
The time is now, today
Join hands all ‘round the world
Banners of peace unfurl
There is another way
Reach out in trust in love
Let fly the peaceful dove
There is another way
