Lyrics:
I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger**lf**I feel sorry for his wife and child at home**lf**I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours**lf**For the people that he''s maimed and left alone**lf**The Lord God said love thy neighbour**lf**Though in human life he trades, he''s still a man**lf**I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing**lf**To fight for ideals aged and past their time**lf**I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle**lf**Of instinct fear bred from their parents'' minds**lf**The Lord God said love thy neighbour**lf**Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend**lf**Wake up, wake up, there''s a man by your side**lf**With a knife and a gun in each hand**lf**Wake up, wake up, you''re one and the same**lf**It''s time to stop and decide**lf**Is it love or hate?**lf**Is it peace or war?**lf**It''s for sure there''s no inbetween**lf**Politicians point views**lf**But they''re pointing for you**lf**The solution has to be seen**lf**I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow**lf**His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud**lf**I fire in hate, he cried aloud**lf**To protect myself from defeat**lf**My shield''s my cause, my cause is war**lf**And from war I''ll make no retreat**lf**I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow**lf**His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud**lf**I drwa thee not, he cried aloud**lf**Though your deeds like spears strike my soul**lf**My shield''s my love, my cause is peace**lf**Faith be sure I shall not retreat**lf**MetroLyrics
