no more war
drum for peace
(and there will never be a time
when these drums will cease)
it's all about the listening and responding
communication, 'round the world, is one thing
it's got me wondering why it's hard to relate
i just listen to the rhythm and communicate
i take a look at my world surrounding
one thing is constant the heart beat pounding
feel how it's sounding and it goes on
'cause there will never be a time when the rhythm is gone
feel the song and keep on dancing
pay no mind to the blind eyes glancing
rhythm romancing with rhymes like a drum
twistie tung tung pa rum pa pum pum
get in the circle, feel the joy
hear the message of the drummer boy
no more war we drum for peace
there will never be a time when these drums will cease
[chant]
no more war
drum for peace
(and there will never be a time
when these drums will cease)
so how about some listening no more boming
communication, lack of, is alarming
those we're harming may turn to hate
but ultimately we decide our fate
so take a look at your world surrounding
one thing is constant the heartbeat pounding
feel how it's sounding and please join in
'cause it's about time for these drums to begin
keep on listening, understanding
drums get louder and more demanding
stop dividing and reprimanding
just to see who's the last man standing
get in the circle make some noise
hear the message of the drummer boys
no more war, we drum for peace
there will never be a time when these drums will cease!
come on!

no more war
drum for peace
(and there will never be a time
when these drums will cease)
[acapella verse]
composed originally
as a free verse with a pen
on a napkin at the coffee shop
a message to a friend
it spoke of new beginnings
that may lead to an end
of this fly-by-night plastic world
where folks pretend
the subject was a champion
who dreamed and aimed higher
believed that change would come
without streams of gun fire
not perfect in the least
yet his soul was admired
'cause he kept pushing on
no matter how he perspired
roads were rocky
obstacles he overcame
soon he learned
shortcuts wouldnt lead to fame
he never hurt no body
so there's no need for shame
all he wanted was the world to know the name
entrain, entrain
all he wanted was the world to know the hame
entrain, entrain
and when the world knew, it would never be the same
