~An Unknown Place~
Take me to an unknown place
where there are smiles upon
each face;
where nations blend all
into one
where no one carries
blade or gun
where borders all
have ceased to be,
and there's no such word
as "casualty"
Take me to an unknown place
where mothers share no
grieving space
where fathers sons' live
long and well
where no one's son
sees war's cold hell.....
Take me to an unknown place
where children are not left alone
because a father's blood and bone
is left upon a foreign shore
Take me to an unknown place
where Peace is King
and War's a Whore..........
A dreamer, that I am, my friend
Were I to scour this earth from
end to end
I would never find the place I seek
we've inherited the earth, but we're
not meek
It does not exist, this place
that I am looking
A world of peace, spilling it's borders
and drowning a world of war.....
