Oh little town of Bethlehem
What chaos in thee lies!
Amid the sound of bombs and guns
The tanks go rolling by
What joy is there in fighting
What hope is there in hate
And will there be any reprieve
When we reach Heaven's gate?
How violently, how violently
The rhetoric is given
There's no recourse and no remorse
Another life is taken
The morning stars together
Proclaim the noise and dread
What religion's glorified
When little kids fall dead?
Oh loving spirit from somewhere else
Descend on us we pray
And lighten up our hearts and minds
And these dark skies of grey
No ear may hear without listening
And in this world of sin
If anyone has common sense
Let listening begin
What chaos in thee lies!
Amid the sound of bombs and guns
The tanks go rolling by
What joy is there in fighting
What hope is there in hate
And will there be any reprieve
When we reach Heaven's gate?
How violently, how violently
The rhetoric is given
There's no recourse and no remorse
Another life is taken
The morning stars together
Proclaim the noise and dread
What religion's glorified
When little kids fall dead?
Oh loving spirit from somewhere else
Descend on us we pray
And lighten up our hearts and minds
And these dark skies of grey
No ear may hear without listening
And in this world of sin
If anyone has common sense
Let listening begin

Very well put. I'd just started to write one so similar it would seem like plagiarism if I posted it now.
