I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is someone finding they have cancer
Peace is a homeless person on the street
Peace is a teenager killed by a drunk driver

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is a child killed by a gun
Peace is a woman beaten by her so called love
Peace is a cope beating down an innocent man

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is people at war with people
Peace is an animal shot down for fun
Peace is airplanes flying into buildings

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is dying of AIDS
Peace is racism
Peace is a mother pulling the plug on her child

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is destroying peoples land
Peace is loosing your ability to move
Peace is taking your own life

I ask you
Is there peace?
