In a war far away, what are they fighting for

Most of those problems that they cannot seem to get along

If there were problems there, can't they solve them now

Although you may not comprehend

Peace is fought for in the end

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

Sometimes it makes me laugh

Sometimes it makes me cry

Will there be such a day when peace comes to stay

With all the problems in the world

I can't tell you that it would

Don't they know that through peace we could change the world

It's seems to me they know no more

That peace is what they're fighting for

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

Sometimes it makes me laugh

Sometimes it makes me cry

I'm beginning to wonder why

I won't tell no lie

I just don't know why

No matter how I try

I wonder why

I wonder why

When I'm grown and a man, will I fight a war

I hope there'll be no wars by then

But the fight for peace may never end

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

Sometimes it makes me laugh

Sometimes it makes me cry

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

Sometimes it makes me laugh

Sometimes it makes me cry

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

It's not a perfect world

I don't want to lie

It's not a perfect world
