On the Way to Becoming Civilized

(Can be sung to the tune of Greensleeves)

Through time eternal, we’ve suffered war.
Crushing hearts, but bodies ever more.

Forever longing, so far away.
Our souls bringing forth a grand new day.

Peace, peace, we pray for peace.
Cannot all go through love’s open door?

Peace, peace, we must have peace.
Look around. See the wasteland of war.
