Someone to rule the world, it wouldn't be me
The planet's so wounded, who will its savior be?
It's hard to take care of things you can hold in your hand
Who can make sense of problems in a distant land?
The call to war is blind man leading blind
Every day more and more
I've got peace on my mind
They balance on razors, far from home and family
A nation on ice for the chilling of humanity
A senseless crime can bring your world tumbling down
When fire meets fire we burn away the common ground
War can make so many people blind
Every day more and more
I've got peace on my mind
Peace on my mind
If i'm dreaming
Make this dream reality
Peace on my mind
A cool light streaming
Let it be
They move in darkness pretending they see the light
Dividing to conquer, claiming what's wrong is right
To see a thing clearly, you put it in the light of day
Who can find answers when questions are just swept away?
War has made so many people blind
Every day more and more
I've got peace on my mind

It's an anti-war song without being too preachy. If you're pointing a finger, no one wants to hear it. It's a portrait rather than a sermon. The truths I describe are self-evident
