When children die, we must be there to turn death around. It was true during the Vietnam war, and it is true today. Resist and refuse.

Anti-war song inspired by Herman Hesse's "Wandering" and Pete Singer's "If you want to have great love, you've got to have great anger".

There's a lesson to be learned in the trees
Go to the forest
Go and you will see it
And when you return, when you return
You'll pass it around
The trees live and we should see that children live too
And when children die
Then we must be there
To turn death around
Armed only with love and anger
There's a lesson to be learned in the trees
They love with Emerald wonder
Now go out from the forest
And bring back all the wounded
