A Time For Peace

An old man broken hearted
Wipes the tears from his face
To find a city left in ruin
By the ravages of war

The echoes of gun fire silent in the dawn
The time for mourning comes
As they remember those who were lost
In that cold and bloody war

Their city lies in waste
But their dreams are still alive
The people united together
They have faith on their side

With hammers in their hands
And love in their hearts
You can hear the people working
To rebuild there daily lives

The ravages of war shall fade
But their memories will remain the same
The war will be remembered
By passage of time
