Lyrics

The soldier cried, “Too many have died in this war.”
Then one by one they dropped their guns and fought no more
Though their destinations remained unknown
The song of a new country called them home

I honor the way of peace I walk in the way of love
I promise to hold all children in my heart
I cherish the song of hope I treasure the way of truth
I promise to hold all people in my heart

This tiny span of war torn land lay smoldering ‘neath the sun
Scarred by years of hate and fears now healing has begun
Though the way of war was all that they had known
The song of a new country called them home
And though the way of war was all that they had known
The song of a new country called them home
