Stop the War
Harmony Plea: Antonio Mela's Call to End Injustice
Lyrics
Sisters I hear you
Sisters, I acknowledge your voices and concerns.
And brothers I see
Brothers, I recognize your presence and perspective.
that you're in pain
It's evident that you're experiencing suffering.
But I don't wanna live
However, I refuse to act oblivious to the situation.
As if I didn't see
Otherwise, I'd be pretending not to notice.
Or else I'll fall in line
Otherwise, I'd conform to the norms and follow blindly.
To let them win
To avoid allowing those causing harm to succeed.
Mothers we failed you
We, as a collective, have disappointed mothers.
And fathers forgive them cause
As for fathers, please pardon the wrongdoers because...
They're killing innocents
...they're causing the deaths of innocent people.
Please, just stop the war
A plea for an end to the conflict and violence.
There's no God who wants you
No divine entity desires cruelty from humanity.
To be cruel
Nevertheless, individuals establish rules...
And yet you make the laws
...and justify actions using religious justification.
And say he told you so
Claiming divine approval for their deeds.
But I don't wanna live
I'm unwilling to turn a blind eye to the atrocities.
As if I didn't see
Otherwise, I'd comply and ignore the suffering.
Or else I'll fall in line
Otherwise, I'd conform to allow the oppressors to triumph.
To let them win
To prevent those perpetrating violence from prevailing.
Tell me, is heaven what you preach?
Is the paradise preached in teachings reflective of this?
And maybe we can stop
Perhaps we can put an end to this conflict.
I'm asking you
An earnest question and plea for peace.
Please, just stop the war
Requesting an immediate cessation of the war.
