NO WAR, NO MORE

The roar of oceans filled with tears,
The thunder of the silent dead,
Together cry for once for all,
NO WAR, NO MORE

The babies in their mother’s arms
Are held with desperate, urgent prayer
That G-d will grant them in their world
NO WAR, NO MORE.

No more the waste, and No more the shambles,
The human suffering,
No more, No more.

How long must it go on and on
“Till all the world shall be as one
And see the time when there will be
NO WAR, NO MORE..

The promise must be made again,
All war will end, all war will end.
So all the world, may live in peace
NO WAR, NO MORE

No more the waste, and No more the shambles,
The human suffering,
No more, No more.
The promise must be made again,
All war will end, all war will end Then shout with everlasting joy,
NO WAR, NO MORE!

So brothers, sisters all join hands
And sing with all your hearts a song Of peace for all the earth, Amen!
NO WAR, NO MORE.
