Текст песни What Price Is Peace - Susan McCann

If I had three wishes, The first one would be
To change the whole world and I'd start here with me
No matter what presidents and others might tell
Well I believe world peace begins with myself

And there's no point in depending on our leaders
To bring you peace, your kind of peace
They'll tell you it's won with the weapons of war
That's peace, their kind of peace. What price is peace?

My second wish has a difficult part
To take the aggression from each human heart
To those on the streets of Belfast or Beirut
Their own fathers and brothers, and lovers they shoot

And there's no point in telling the man with the gun
You want peace, your kind of peace
They'll tell you that freedom on their selfish terms
Is peace, their kind of peace. What price is peace?

Well, my final wish brings a tear to my eye
But I'm helpless to help all the children who die
And although we complain with the life that is gloom
And we don't think of others as much as we should

And there's no point in telling a mother who cries
You want peace, your kind of peace
She'll tell you if her baby's alive in an hour
That's peace, her kind of peace. What price is peace?
