I look into the mirror and can’t stand what I see
Who is this stranger looking back at me
With eyes as foreign as the ocean
With waves and waves of unkempt emotion
Now I turn on the tv screen 
It seems a nightmare is waking the dream
Up from where it stands 
Long live the reign of man 
As the boundary push 
Us beyond the evening rush
Into some sky
Where soldiers are as afraid to die
As the nearest foe
There’s a point beyond which we cannot go
Or we won’t come back
Don’t live in the realm of lack
And contribute 
To the people playing the flute
Of desperate pain
When the sky clears it cannot rain
But it will pelt
As long as the clouds refuse to melt
Under the barrage of storm
Remember the sun used to keep us warm
Now it just burns and heats the sea
I have no power but if it was me 
I would ask for an end to be put to the war
Here, there, everywhere for 
The sake of the child
Who grows up through the thick of the wild
Of brambles and thorns
No one asked for me to be born
But here I am
And if I can 
I will issue a note
So it will be something someone can quote
When I’m long gone
Does anyone know where we went wrong?
