It all started one cold day
With angry eyes and angry ways
We marched out in the snow
Our figures hidden and voices low
We had to talk to them
We had to talk to them
They had tortured us before
And if we did not stop them it would just increase more
We arrived and looked above
The house was decorated with stoned leaves and stoned doves
The enormity of the house made it eerie
And the darkness it engulfed made it scary
We stopped and stared
And thought, ‘should we have dared?’
When suddenly there was a huge roar
This shook us to the core
Our enemies were coming out
Their feet running and shouts loud
We glanced at each other confused at first
But then our determination burst
We had said before we would not fight
Our promise still was tight
We waited outside to make amends
Peace was first and foremost to meet ends
They looked at us prepared for war
We gestured them to come out of the door
The unexpected caused them to be fearful
We said we just wanted the town to be peaceful
Come here, come here, and let us be brothers again
They understood the request which was so plain
We always thought you wanted war, they said
Thus we gave you pain and caused dread
The confusion was clear and thus caused us to grin
For every time peace will win.
