There Is Hope For The Future

The bombs have caused death and destruction and the families mourn their dead But there is hope for the future for better days ahead When those for peace and World harmony will finally prevail For those who talk of waging war are surely doomed to fail. There is hope for the future though I may not live to see my dream Of a better life for everyone in a World where peace will reign supreme A World free of borders and camps for refugees Where the smell of death and destruction is not blowing in the breeze There is hope for the future around me not all dark I hear young children playing in the playground in the park The children are the future and they may well unite Behind a peaceful leader who won't lead by power of might. There is hope for the future and all surely not lost Though there won't be peace tomorrow and 'twill come at a great cost The Rose of Peace will bloom again though with the dead I lay And the young and enlightened leaders to peace will lead the way.
