Just Peace

The eyes full of fears the mouth wide open
A child of ten years has seen the death of many
He doesn't know why these lifes are broken
He feels the dark sky the fight will start tomorrow

Please don't kill for the freedom
Don't send - missiles to protect it
Force won't dry any teardrops
Nobody needs fear – Just peace

His home is so far. The sun is burning
He smokes a cigar He's strong as every soldier
His wife is alone This thought is hurting
The dices are thrown The fight will start tomorrow

Please don't kill for the freedom
Don't send - missiles to protect it
Force won't dry any teardrops
Nobody needs fear – Just peace

There is an explosion It hurts, it hurts
It's the end of motions It's death ----

The fam'ly in black The grave is open
He'll never come back The boy, the man, the soldier
Nobody is proud A life is broken
A mother cries loud The fight will start tomorrow

Please don't kill for the freedom
Don't send - missiles to protect it
Force won't dry any teardrops
Nobody needs fear – Just peace

Der Song entstand 1978 noch mit einem anderen Text als Liebeslied. Erstmals hatte ich bewusst einen Harmoniewechsel verwendet. Unter dem Eindruck der Berichte über Kindersoldaten in Afrika entstand der neue Text, der darauf verweist, dass kriegerische Gewalt nur Verlierer hinterlässt und dass die großen Worte von der Verteidigung der Freiheit nur notdürftig den Tod, den Schmutz, die Angst und die Tränen kaschiert.
