“Home” they say,
It’s where the heart is
But why do I find it hard to believe
When I come home and find chaos
Brother against sister
Sister against brother
We fight, we war.
They say “blood is thicker than water”
An offence caused cannot be forgiven
I am tired of fighting
I want love
I want peace
What’s the use of a banquet
In a house on fire?
My brother, my sister
Why fight ye each other
Embrace each other in love
This is our home
We are a family
Divided we fall
Together we stand
We ought to live at peace with one another.
