a new anthem

Lyrics

There's a blue jewel sparklin' in the universe,
Lookin' like the answer to the darkness that surrounds.
But we know very well the cracks upon this jewel,
The borders drawn and the barriers
That separate what is from what should be.

And we all share this lovely sphere but we share a lonely fear -
Oh will we end it all in a final ball of flame?
Or will we hurry our hearts and explore
A world beyond the thoughts and deeds of war?

Beyond war there's a renaissance of man,
Within each of us the bombs will be banned.
Beyond war we will be what we should be,
No superpowers, just you and me...beyond war.

Will this blue jewel just burn into a cinder,
Lookin' like a moon that never once supported life?
Or will we each hold this jewel in our hand
And see the borders gone and no barriers
To separate what is from what should be?

And we do share this lovely sphere but we share a lonely fear -
Oh will we end it all in a final ball of flame?
Or will we hurry our hearts and explore
A world beyond the thoughts and deeds of war?

Beyond war there's a future we can see,
A place our children would just love to be.
Beyond war there's a journey we can chart,
It's just the distance from the mind to the heart...beyond war.

And we are the leaders and we have a voice,
We are the future and we have a choice...beyond war.

Beyond war there's a future we can see,
A place our children would just love to be.
Beyond war there's a journey we can chart,
It's just the distance from your mind to your heart...beyond war.
