Lyrics
WAGING WAR WON'T SOLVE
Words and Music & © (all rights reserved) Laurence Conway 2015
1
Waging of war doesn't solve
It doesn't fix and it does not absolve
Justice might be on our side
But many tag along just for the ride
CHORUS
Anyone can tell from news reports
That waging war won't solve
Not enough improves
Seems all sides lose
So waging war won't solve
2
Waging of war doesn't solve
Again we watch democracy dissolve
Just when we think fighting's done
A coup erupts; it's back to square one
REPEAT CHORUS
3
Waging of war doesn't solve
No matter what resources we involve
Overhead bombs, troops on ground
When families are destroyed, no joy is found
REPEAT CHORUS
4
Waging of war's not the way
Solution's neither black nor white: just grey
How do we resolve differences
And cease the traumas wreaked by war each day?
REPEAT CHORUS
