TWO FACES OF WAR

Our country has two faces
With each a different scene
In this war in foreign places
No disrespect do we mean

Although this world is crying
Our pleas could still be heard
Today we pray for the dying
Ask for wisdom in His word

When I see Old Glory waving
I am proud of our great land
While peace still I am craving
This war is hard to understand

One side stands up for peace
The other side says go to war
But to those soldiers overseas
We’ll honor you forever more

Even today around this nation
Yellow ribbons we all can see
For homecoming celebrations
Tied around the old oak trees

For our principals we can stand
Without closing peaceful doors
When we all love this great land
We’ll see Two Faces of a War
