Make This War Go Away

Can be sung to NIN's
"Something I can never have"


"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." -- Ephesians 4:31-32

"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" -- Matthew 5:43-44

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed." -- James 5:15

I know world peace begins with me

I know world peace is meant to be


Like a child, I cried at the news
The President had made the choice
Of sending in our troops
My hopes and dreams of youth
We'd come so far
Were swept away in disbelief
I'd ever see a world at war

Please make this war go away
Hear every word that I pray
What can I do or say, or
Change deep down inside myself
To make this war go away

Help me forgive what I hate
World peace is something
We can have someday
if we start today. . .

 
If only I could turn back the clock
To a time of peace before
The sanctions in Iraq
Could we have spared
Five thousand children - dead
Every month, while other nations
Simply turned their heads

O God help me
Please make this war go away
Heal every heart full of hate
Show me what to do or say, or
Change deep down about myself
To make this war go away

Forgive the church and the state
World peace is coming
It is God's kingdom
We are meant to have

I know world peace is meant to be
I know world peace begins with me


Bismi Allah - Al Rahman
Al Raheem - Ameen


 
I still believe all suffering will end
And even bitter enemies
Will reconcile as friends
There's always so much more
That we can do
The greatest change
We'll ever make
Depends on me and you

Come and help me
We'll make this war go away
When we forgive those we hate
Small things we do or say
Can bring a change in someone else

We'll make this war go away
Rebuild the church and the state
World peace is coming
It is God's kingdom
We are meant to have

 
World peace is something
We will have someday
If we start today . . .

Bismi Allah - Al Rahman
Al Raheem - Ameen


With the Blessings of God - All Beneficent
All Merciful - Amen
 

-- For Trent Reznor and George W. Bush, 2005

DID YOU KNOW...
only fonts that are EMBEDDED right in the GRAPHIC will be
seen as they are UNLESS the VIEWER also has that font.  In other words, this font will be viewed correctly by everyone as it is embedded in the graphics....BUT, if you try to use it in the WRITTEN TEXT part of your page, it will only be viewed by those who also have the font on their computer.....so, I always use a font that is common to almost all systems for my text, such as the font you are reading now...Verdana, or Arial, etc.  People are not going to stop and download a font to view your page.

DO NOT LINK DIRECTLY TO THESE GRAPHIC PIECES
 This is called bandwidth stealing.  It means that you are using the space that Moon And Back Graphics pays for.  Download the graphics to your hard drive....build the page from there.   NEVER link directly to a graphic.
