(It) seems the world is falling apart Up in flames, splinters and shards Only love can show us the way High above where hate does not reign No more walls, prisons or games A war of love we'll wage in exchange For the hope our children refrain From sticks and stones Sticks and stones No more fists, missiles or blades Open your arms, your enemies embrace Have a drink, a laugh and a smile Step from the brink and sing with me a while The breeze of peace blows smoke from the fray The winds of war disspiate The time is now, it's not too late Never forget Never forget Sticks and stones It's up to us if tomorrow will come Holding hands Brothers, sisters (as) one As we stroll up around the bend Broken hearts on the mend Sticks and stones
