Papa Stop the War

Tears are running down her face now

You can see she don't want him to go to war

Scream and shout

"Daddy stay home" ask if he's gonna come back home

Papa's never home when we need him

He always talks about war

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

We're missing you, Papa

Can't you stop going to the war now

Always fighting

No solution, stay home

Papa, we need you

Papa's never home when we need him

He always goes to war

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Should emerge

Hearken the voice of reason

Racial hatred must cease

Killing machines must end

The death factories must close

A ticking time-bomb must be disposed

And the dark of peace must reign

Racial venom is like social dynamite

Racial venom is like social dynamite

It is like a revival of a perilous syndrome

A syndrome of death and destruction

This is the voice of concern

A voice of social redemption

An eye for an eye makes the world blinded

Reconciliation and reconstruction

Is like a dark cloud

Giving way to the blue sky

Humankind must put an end to war

Or war will put an end to humankind

Africa and the world

Cannot afford self-pity

If something is not worth living for

It is not worth dying for

Yes this is the voice of reason

In search of liberty

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Listen to the voice of reason

Words of wisdom have to be ushered

A better world has to be built

Listen to the voice of reason

Now is the time

To unchain the minds

Now is the time

To unchain the hearts

Images of a new dream

Images of a new society

Should emerge

Harken the voice of reason

Racial hatred must cease

Killing machines must end

The death factories must close

A ticking time-bomb must be disposed

And the dark of peace must reign

Racial venom is like social dynamite

Racial venom is like social dynamite

It is like a revival of a perilous syndrome

A syndrome of death and destruction

This is the voice of concern

A voice of social redemption

An eye for an eye makes the world blinded

Reconciliation and reconstruction

Is like a dark cloud

Giving way to the blue sky

Humankind must put an end to war

Or war will put an end to humankind

Africa and the world

Cannot afford self-pity

If something is not worth living for

It is not worth dying for

Yes this is the voice of reason

In search of liberty

Eternally

Humankind think positive

Choose life not death

This is the voice of reason

That shakes the conscience of humankind

That was the voice of reason

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?
