We All Want The Same
we argue,
but we all want the same
to live idealistically
in some kind of peace
but wanting the same
it doesn’t mean –
we do not argue over who is blame
why do we do it
when we all want the same
holding hands and closing eyes
leaving behind the blame
arguing over whose god is best
and who’s god is right
and if there is one at all
or, if when is is finally over
it will be just one long goodnight
we argue,
but we need not bother
no not at at all, there is not gain
big or small
and just want to live in peace
James Garratt – April 2003
