VERSE 1
(CHILD:)
At home, church, and school I learned that the rule is
"Talking, not fighting";
I've seen that it works; yes, that's what it takes
in our small world to get along.
Then I hear on the news that leaders of countries are
fighting, not talking---
that bombs are flying---people dying;
I can't help but ask you---"Why?"
VERSE 2
Oh, isn't there a better way,
Mommy, Daddy?
Why haven't they learned a better way yet
for countries to get along?
Why don't they talk it over?
Why don't they work it out?
People killing people can't be the answer--
It feels so wrong!
VERSE 3
(PARENT:)
Yes, Jesus came to show us God's better way,
my son, my daughter,
We've got to love our enemies, pray for them as well,
overcoming evil with God's love.
(CHILD:)
Then why don't they use the better way,
Mommy, Daddy?
Why don't they use the better way,
so people don't die too young?
VERSE 5
(PARENT:)
We've got to let our leaders know that we know there's
a much better way to solve problems;
We've got to send them letters, call them on the phone,
sign petitions, and take it to the streets!
And when you're old enough to vote, make sure that your vote
speaks for you, as well;
Put people in power who use the better way
So that your children won't have to say...
FINAL CHORUS
"Oh, isn't there a better way,
Mommy, Daddy?
Why haven't they learned a better way yet
for countries to get along?"
