If I marched a hundred miles
Would I stop the war?
If I raise a million dollars
Could I be ignored?

If I talked to a hundred people
Could I stop the war?
Can I find any words
You’ve not heard before?

What does it take
To make a change?
Are a thousand prayers each day
Enough to tip the scale?

Are they still worth saying?
And should we try?
Can right and wrong really belong
To either side?

If I sent another letter
With a better plan
Or shake a thousand hands
Would you understand?

If I lit a dozen candles
Would I stop the war?
If I wrote another peace song
Would it strike a chord?

What does it take
To make a change?
Are a thousand prayers each day
Enough to tip the scale?

They’re still worth saying
And we should try
Cause right and wrong can not belong
To either side

break

If I kept a million stories
Would they sound the same?
Cause every twenty years
We forget again
