Where I live in the desert, it's so peaceful and warm
And the cares of the world drift by, like clouds reflected in a quiet pool
But there always comes a time, when a man has to think of the future
(War, war, war!) Has to think of his children, (war, war, war!)
And the world they will live in (war, war, war, war!)
I'm not sure if I can do anything to help them, but I can try, I can try

We can feed the flames with the unkind deeds we've done (with the fire)
'Cause we've got to get ready, for World War None

Keep on trying for peace, until that peace is won

(A whispered word or touch is louder than a bugle)
(A silent prayer is so much stronger than a sword)
(And the bombs that can't replace the stained glass window)
For which we should thank the good Lord, thank the good Lord)
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
If we cherish our fire (if we cherish our fire)
It could possibly be (it could possibly be)
Bright enough to be seen, (bright enough to be seen)
