[bodytext] => In Turkey there is chaos A bloody tragic chaos For them its their 9/11 No adequate words to say All of these explosions Coming day after day The terrorists are guilty Of that there is no doubt But my heart will always wonder Was there another way? Than to match death With more dead To stoke the killing machine? You say they can’t reason They don’t see what we mean That we can’t reason with them But only bring them pain But when did simple opposition Bring us much in gain? Or fail to bring more suffering? Or bring a better day? Well a war means all out carnage But on with the war Bush will say And isn’t that what we see More death, mothers grieving Heartache Day on day on day? And my heart can’t help wondering Is there not a better way?
