I Wish We Could Live In Peace

I wish we could live in peace And no one could be hurt again And we wouldn't have to have enemies And have to fight back to survive I wish we could all just be fair and kind to one another Very simply Without great professions of love or false caring With simple respect We and the rest getting along Honoring each other fairly I wish we could live in peace But it's not so simple And my wishes don't mean very much In the great scheme of things We have enemies who want to destroy us We have to fight back We have to defeat them It is all nice and wonderful to want peace And simple respect and dignity But when they come to kill us Kindness cannot be the answer And wishes of goodness mean nothing We have to hurt others to survive That's the truth that's the reality And all the kindness and good wishes inside Will not change the often terrible reality I wish we will live one day in peace And all the wars and fighting will be over And we will never have to hurt anyone again And we all respect each other And live in mutual respect and dignity I wish we will one day live in peace.
