Dylan's Battle Cry

Do you hear the war bells ringing?
Do you hear the children singing?
Do you feel your heart a-tingling?
When the soldiers comin home?

Do you hear the children laughing?
Do you hear the bombshells crashing?
Do you hear the question asking
When the soldiers comin home?

We don't know where we are going
But we're in this for the ride
What we do here counts for nothin
The only difference is in our minds
We fight for peace in our own time

Do you fear a world of fighting?
Do you fear the cold wind biting?
Do you fear what the sky brings?
When those bombs a-gonna fall?

Do you hear 'bout rising tensions?
Do you hear 'bout escalation?
Do you see those hateful nations?
When those bombs a-gonna fall?

We don't know where we are going
But we're in this for the ride
What we do here counts for nothin
The only difference is in our minds
We fight for peace in our own time
And spread our love to all mankind

We don't know where we are going
But we're in this for the ride
What we do here counts for nothin
The only difference is in our minds
We fight for peace in our own time
We have committed our own crimes
But we spread love to all mankind

Do you hear the children singing?
Do you hear the war bells ringing?
Do you get the message I bring?
When the soldiers comin home?
When the soldiers comin home?
When the soldiers comin home?

This song is inspired by Bob Dylan, from the music to the lyrical style to the subject matter. It is also about Bob Dylan, and those like him, who wrote music that they believed would change the world, and I believe has. If our music does not move people, what is its purpose? If our words do not inspire, why write them?
