Story Behind The Song
mourning the losses of war hell...the loss of life and the loss of humanity of those who take life....the song ends with a duet of ancient war drums across the earth and a satellite... tranquil... floating above it all....

the quiet thoughts of a soldier fighting overseas, pondering bad conditions and the consequences of violence...only to re-establish that we all --especially the soldiers-- want peace -- but will it ever be possible?

Lyrics
got chiggers in my boots again
this eternal stomach flu, too
sleep in a freezing foxhole
where i pray all night ..
to make it thru
ooooooo?..what is peace
ooooooo?.when is peace
everyday i fight the good fight
i fight the good right out of me
and wage wars against those
who we?re fighting for?
and long for my family
oooooo?..what is peace
hey yeah?..when is peace
i'll tell ya now?we want peace
peace?one word?
like a magic wand
can if fix all the hate
that can break us all?
yeah we all....
we want peace...
what is peace
mmmm?..when is peace?
Peace???.
