Stop the war

STOP THE WAR

Original Pop-Rock Anthem

Intro — Electric guitar riff, crowd chanting

Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh!

We want peace! We want love!

Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh!

Enough is enough!

Verse 1 — Driving bass and steady drums

Another morning, another cry,

Another child asking why.

Broken streets and shattered dreams,

Nothing's ever what it seems.

How many tears must rivers run?

How many battles must be won?

We're tired of watching people fall,

There's got to be a better way for all!

Pre-Chorus — Drums building, guitars rising

Raise your hands, raise your voice,

We have the power, we have a choice!

Side by side, we're standing tall,

One world, one heart, one call!

Chorus — Full band, huge sing-along vocals

STOP THE WAR! LET THE LOVE SHINE!

WE ARE ONE, IT'S YOUR WORLD AND MINE!

STOP THE WAR! HEAR THE PEOPLE SAY!

WE WANT PEACE — STARTING TODAY!

Hey! Hey! Put the weapons down!

Hey! Hey! Let the love go round!

No more hate, no more pain,

Let the sunshine come again!

STOP THE WAR! STOP THE WAR!

WE DON'T WANT WAR ANYMORE!

Verse 2 — Energetic guitar and punchy drums

Different faces, different names,

But every heart can feel the same.

Every mother, every son,

Wants a world where we can live as one.

We don't need another wall,

We need a hand to lift us all.

The future's calling, hear the sound,

Peace is what we're fighting for now!

Pre-Chorus — Building toward the chorus

Raise your hands, raise your voice,

We have the power, we have a choice!

Side by side, we're standing tall,

One world, one heart, one call!

Chorus — Full band and crowd vocals

STOP THE WAR! LET THE LOVE SHINE!

WE ARE ONE, IT'S YOUR WORLD AND MINE!

STOP THE WAR! HEAR THE PEOPLE SAY!

WE WANT PEACE — STARTING TODAY!

Hey! Hey! Put the weapons down!

Hey! Hey! Let the love go round!

No more hate, no more pain,

Let the sunshine come again!

STOP THE WAR! STOP THE WAR!

WE DON'T WANT WAR ANYMORE!

Bridge — Half-time drums, emotional vocals

If you believe in a world that's free,

Sing this song for humanity!

If you believe that we all belong,

Stand together, stand up strong!

From every city, every shore,

Let the whole world hear us roar!

We won't be silent, we won't ignore,

WE WANT PEACE FOREVERMORE!

Final Chorus — Explosive guitars, double-time drums, massive choir

STOP THE WAR! LET THE LOVE SHINE!

WE ARE ONE, IT'S YOUR WORLD AND MINE!

STOP THE WAR! HEAR THE PEOPLE SAY!

WE WANT PEACE — STARTING TODAY!

Hey! Hey! Put the weapons down!

Hey! Hey! Let the love go round!

One world! One dream!

Let the whole world live in peace!

STOP THE WAR! STOP THE WAR!

WE DON'T WANT WAR ANYMORE!

Outro — Crowd chanting over ringing guitars

Lead: What do we want?

Crowd: PEACE!

Lead: When do we want it?

Crowd: NOW!

All: STOP THE WAR! STOP THE WAR!

LET THERE BE PEACE FOREVERMORE!

Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh!

One world! One heart!

Let's make a brand-new start!
