Papa Stop the War

Tears are running down her face now
You can see she don't want him to go to war
Scream and shout
"Daddy stay home"
Ask if he's gonna come back home
Papa's never home when we need him
He always talks about war
Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?
Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

We're missing you, Papa
Can't you stop going to the war now
Always fighting
No solution
Stay home
Papa, we need you
Papa's never home when we need him
He always goes to war
Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?
Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?

Papa, Papa, stop the war
Papa, yo, stop the war
Papa, Papa, stop the war
(Wo, Papa) Papa, yo, stop the war
(Papa, Papa, stop it) Papa, Papa, stop the war

(Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?)
(Papa, Papa, can't you stop the war?)

Papa, Papa, stop the war
Papa, yo, stop the war
(Papa, stop the war) Papa, Papa, stop the war
(Wo, Papa) Papa, yo, stop the war
(Papa, Papa, stop it) Papa, Papa, stop the war

Wo, Papa

Stop the war now (Papa, yo, stop the war)
Stop the war now (Papa, Papa, stop the war)
Stop the war

Listen to the voice of reason
Words of wisdom have to be ushered
A better world has to be built
Listen to the voice of reason

Now is the time
To unchain the minds
Now is the time
To unchain the hearts
Images of a new dream
Images of a new society
Should emerge
Hearken the voice of reason

Racial hatred must cease
Killing machines must end
The death factories must close
A ticking time-bomb must be disposed
And the dark of peace must reign
Racial venom is like social dynamite

Racial venom is like social dynamite
It is like a revival of a perilous syndrome
A syndrome of death and destruction
This is the voice of concern
A voice of social redemption
An eye for an eye makes the world blinded
Reconciliation and reconstruction
Is like a dark cloud
Giving way to the blue sky
Humankind must put an end to war
Or war will put an end to humankind
Africa and the world
Cannot afford self pity
If something is not worth living for
It is not worth dying for
Yes this is the voice of reason
In search of liberty
Eternally

Humankind think positive
Choose life not death
This is the voice of reason
That shakes the conscience of humankind
That was the voice of reason
