Lyrics:

So many fathers are gone, lost to the fighting

What can they do? What can children do?

But work so hard to survive in Afghanistan.

* Guns, bombs, grenades, soulless machines

What can they do? What can they do?

Nonviolence they choose for Afghanistan.

* Threatened by those with fear in their hearts

What can they do? What can they do?

But risk their lives for the peace in Afghanistan.

* The land is degraded to dust and sand

What can they do? What can they do?

But nurture the life of Afghanistan.

* Send them our light

Send them our hope

Send them our love

Send them the strength to carry on

* Nearly all trust is gone, broken by fear

What can they do? What can they do?

But stand bravely with love in Afghanistan.

* Their courage and faith speak to us all

What can we do? What can we do?

But stand up for peace in Afghanistan

What can we do? What can we do?

No more war in our name in Afghanistan.

* Let them send us their light

Send us their hope

Send us their love

Send us the strength to carry on…. *

And we’ll send them our light

Send them our hope

Send them our love

Send them the strength to carry on.

* La, la etc.

Nonviolence they choose for Afghanistan Nonviolence they ask for Afghanistan.
