Alas, then, here we are again
As blood flows from the wounds of men
The battlefield seems to have no end
Perhaps it’s time that peace began
Why don’t I just go and try it first
There’ll be no pain, no grief, nor hurt
No need to wear an iron shirt
With Death’s fickle finger I wish to flirt
Strike me down, and I’ll rise again
I am the Phoenix of the resurrection
I puff my herb and sip a concoction
I and I have a positive notion
So why don’t we sit, and I’ll sing you a song
From the sound of my voice, shooting stars shall be flung
They’ll dance in the heavens like ribbons undone
From the hair of the children that play in the sun
Chorus:
Let peace begin, let peace begin
Let peace begin, let peace begin
Let peace begin, let peace begin
Let peace begin, let peace begin
So why don’t we sit, and I’ll sing you a song
From the sound of my voice, shooting stars shall be flung
They’ll dance in the heavens like ribbons undone
From the hair of the children that play in the sun
Chorus
Strike me down, and I’ll rise again
I am the Phoenix of the resurrection
I puff my herb and sip a concoction
I and I have a positive notion
So why don’t we sit, and I’ll sing you a song
From the sound of my voice, shooting stars shall be flung
They’ll dance in the heavens like ribbons undone
From the hair of the children that dance in the sun
Chorus
