The same sun shines in Washington
That shines on Moscow
The rain that beats the streets
Beats the same on each
Snow here, snow there
No peace anywhere
Clouds float by
The starving children die
The trees drop their leaves
The governments still thrive
Blue water flows
War crawls on the street
People live for a while
Winds blow chilly by
Where's a compassionate smile
Green grass all about
Fear topples all hope
Birds sing on crisp days
No one hears, they shudder
Dogs bark and howl
Their blackening fear creeps
The golden moon rises high
Still for peace we cry
