Do we really need to fight in war,
Looking at our flag asoar,
High in the bright blue sky,
Up in the air so, so high,

Do we really need to sleep,
Hoping one day that there is peace,

Can’t we all just get along,
Instead of fighting for so long,

Do we really need to wish,
That one day we won’t have all this,

That we can leave the past behind,
And help our nations stay alive,

The answer to all of these is no,
We all just need to let it go,

Stand united,
Or stand alone,
It’s all your choice,

So make it wisely,
Just ask yourself,
Do we really...
