Lyrics

If the barrels of war were the barrels of peace
Die centers would all be backers
The barrels of war would be barrels of peace
If those barrels were filled with crackers
That ain't it, honey
Oh wait a minute, I got one more
All righty
The kaleidoscope of my emotions
Traces still uncharted oceans
Of a deep depression that I can't forget or forgive
Lo, the days and hours wasted
Longing for what can be tasted
The tender unborn love that doesn't live
That ain't it either, honey
Written by: Gary Geld, Ossie Davis, Peter Udell, Philip Rose
