Between Love And War

The sound of gunfire echoes through the sky
Can you explain to me why so many have to die
The flag is raised on the broken ground where bodies lie
You call it a victory but alone at night a mother cries

Where's the peace
Where's the love
What should we do when push comes to
Shove me to the ground
Aching and missing home
The screams all seem so loud
Why is it that I feel so
Alone I'm crying out
Wishing I were someplace else
The screams are fading now
When angels come to save me from this hell

The planes fly by and the bombs collide with earth
Who's in charge and who's to say just what your life is worth
And where are all the leaders when the bombs begin to burst
It's hard to distinguish friend or foe when your friend might just be worse

Where's the peace
Where's the love
What should we do when push comes to
Shove me to the ground
Aching and missing home
The screams all seem so loud
Why is it that I feel so
Alone I'm crying out
Wishing I were someplace else
The screams are fading now
When angels come to save me from this hell
