It's so Sad

Story behind the song
Well, just look around the world and see whats going on, It's so Sad isn't it
Lyrics
Verse 1
The bells and saints lay on the ground
And the steeple lays askew
The shattered dreams of peace it seems
Are lost, inside of you
His lessons fade as we turn away
As the horns of hate sound through
Oh it’s sad, and I cry for me and you
Verse 2
The nightly tales give the body counts
No emotions can show thru
I can hardly bare as their faces stare
With names like me and you
Brave soldiers die on every side
And their mothers cry their tears
Oh it’s sad, no one wins this fight I fear
Verse 3
Seems we fought this fight so long ago
As we marched and sang our songs
The peace sign raised in unified rage
But now it seems all gone
And the gleam of pride is still in our
eyes
But now we march our young to war
Oh it’s sad, for we lost what it was for
Verse 4
The smoke is rising from the funeral pyres
And revenge is in the air
We display our might for what we hold is right
But the cost seems high to bear
And the sons and daughters of all mankind
Need to stop and look around
But it’s sad, what we lost may never be found
Verse 5
Now all beliefs say thou shall not kill
And to love your peers
Words to live, and words to revere
But they fall on deafened ears
And the lessons of our past never seem to last
For the horns of hate ring thru
Oh it’s sad, and I pray for me and you
