Peace in Our Time
By Tunde Oseni
How many times will we go to war
When peace is what must be won
Peace in our time
Repeat: peace in our time
How many lives will we cut the short
Up the North and down the South
Peace in our time
Repeat: peace in our time
How much tears must we shed again
Because of lives that are shred without a gain
Peace in our time
Repeat: peace in our time
How long will we need to shout
For the extremists in our midst to rethink their bout
Peace in our time
Repeat: peace in our time
