The Colors of Life

As millions watch and wait to hear
Our hearts so overwhelmed with fear

Some with loved ones that have gone off to fight this war
They wait, wondering always, "What are we fighting for?"

Yes, "freedom" has always been our quest
In this case, I dare say Iraq thought we jest

I truly believe peace is the answer - in our hearts, our minds, our will
But there are animals like Hussein and Bin Laden who prefer to kill

I call them animals because humanity is about caring and love
They will deal with their punishments before GOD above

May GOD be with our troops and may this war soon come to an end
My prayers go out to them all, the brave soldiers
Our free country they defend
