Some people fight a million miles from home
Some people might not find shelter from the storm
Some people die for what hides in the ground 
Some lie too young 2 feet wide & 6 feet down

Some people say they’ve got God on their side
Some people pray just to make it through the night
Some people fall for tryin’ to be brave
Some crawl too soon from the cradle to the grave

Voices of war still roar after one century 
As if we never learned anything from history
Voices of war no more, if we stand as one 
We shall overcome 

Some people kill for freedom & for peace
Some people will always be a refugee
Some people march for the lies they’ve been told
Some charge too fast & stay forever young

Voices of war still roar after one century 
As if we never learned anything from history
Voices of war no more, if we stand as one 
We shall overcome 

Voices of war no more, if we stand as one 
We shall overcome
