Ballard for us all. C.H.Hope’25

When Battlefield’s are crushed and sparse of life

Cruel sad words smeared on every stone

All that’s left is your tedious moan

For the voice of another you’re defying

Uniqueness was never a crime or a sin

Within differs not for anyone

Spirit is strength in a woven gown

From the colours of another you’re defying

So let’s all work it out. Tell me what it’s all about

‘Cause all I see are people wanting to live their lives

The Sun’s gonna burn this hell to the ground

Take sore shame and skin from off the bone

You won’t know left faceless all alone

The image of another you’re defying

The heat will singe the lovers and the shunned

Too late for joy or remorse never shown

The Earth split bare with your tedious moan

For the image of another you’re defying

So Let’s all work it out, Tell me what it’s all about

‘Cause all I see are people trying to live their lives.

Bickering life will no longer be found

Shadows of living self and selfies gone

What are you afraid of my sad little one

The vision of another you’re defying

Each day holds change to start anew

Disarm fear let confusion die

Join everyone there’s no war to be won

In the Soul of another who’s dying.

So let’s all work it out Tell me what it’s all about

’Cause all I see are people wanting to live their lives

Yeah let’s all work it out Tell me what it’s all about

‘Cause all I see are people trying to live their lives

Yeah all I see are people trying to live their lives

Yeah all I see are people wanting to live their lives.
