Lyrics

We draw the same lines, in the sand,
Raise the same flags, with trembling hands.
We talk of peace, then load the guns,
History echoes what we’ve done.

How many times must silence break,
Before we learn from each mistake?

And maybe when the dust has cleared,
And we are nothing but the years,
The rivers will remember songs
And time will wright our wrongs.
Maybe Earth will find its grace,
When we are shadows, lost in space…
Beyond tomorrow —
When healing has begun.

We send our prayers into the sky,
While children learn the art to die.
We build, we burn, we build again,
Then lie and say it’s all for them.

The louder we cry out for peace,
The more the hope begins to cease.

But maybe when the storm is gone,
And none of us are holding on,
The oceans will reclaim the shore,
The silence will mean war no more.
Maybe the world will find its grace,
When we are ghosts in outer space…
Beyond tomorrow —
Where peace returns once more.

No flags, no walls, no need to run,
Just trees that breathe where we had none.
The soil will cover up our pain,
And wash the blood with summer rain.

And maybe when the last bell tolls,
The earth will sing with all its souls…
A lullaby beyond regret,
A song we never finished yet.
Maybe there’s peace we never found —
Waiting in the quiet ground…
Beyond tomorrow —
When everything’s undone.

When the time of Peace has begun.
