Lyrics
The fog of war blocks out the sun
A world at peace is on the run
Strong gust of wind blows from the west
With our loud voices love’s expressed
Are humans taught to be so cruel
From other bullies back at school
Tormenting classmates half their size
To rule the playground as their prize
In countries where there’s no vote
Leaders have folks by the throat
Freedom for all is just a dream
Wealth and power drive their regime
The fog of war blocks out the sun
A world at peace is on the run
Strong gust of wind blows from the west
With our loud voices love’s expressed
The future is what dictators fear
No change is how they persevere
Glorifying themselves and their country’s past
Deciding borders shouldn’t last
We watch the hurt they put you through
A world away we feel it too
Not the bloodshed when shooting starts
The pain’s in our brains, in our hearts
The fog of war blocks out the sun
A world at peace is on the run
Strong gust of wind blows from the west
With our loud voices love’s expressed
