When all the seas are empty
and the skies are boiling black;
When the forests are silent
and all the voices stilled
we will walk away from war.
When there is no one left to kiss you
or tease your trembling skin;
when all the blood has spilled
and there is no one left to sew your wounds
we will walk away from war.
When all the screams have echoed
and all the tears have fallen;
when all the hearts are broken
we will walk away from war.
When all debates have ended
and all the reasons failed;
when there is no one left to answer
we will walk away from war.
When someone stands beside you,
when someone takes your hand,
when someone’s arm encircles you
when a whisper tickles your ear,
when a word makes you smile,
when your body shivers with love
and your eyes close with passion,
when a soft sigh brings joy,
and joy brings relief,
then we will walk away from war.
