Will You Christians and Jews

Osama Bin Laden is took out by raiders Jihadist fanatics vow still to fight on While their passion for violence breeds mayhem and carnage Distorting the vision of prophets long gone The USA welcomes young Islamic tourists To waterboard down on Guantanamo Bay Conveniently outside its judicial boundaries Together at the pleasure of the torturers' play Will you Christians and Jews, with your Western world views Come to lie down with the Muslims and the Sikhs and Hindus Will you godless Chinese leave Tibetans at ease Meditating on the mantra "In our time, bring us peace" Will drought turn to desert and water be rationed And bio-fuel crops replace rain-forest trees Is it too late already to cool down the greenhouse Or together replenish the black, oily seas Now oceans are no longer teeming with fishes And national parks protect zebra and gnu Are we trustworthy stewards of all evolution Or killers of many for the sake of the few Will you Christians and Jews, with your Western world views Come to lie down with the Muslims and the Sikhs and Hindus Will you godless Chinese leave Tibetans at ease Meditating on the mantra "In our time, bring us peace" Tornadoes are twisting across mid-America Earthquakes and tsunamis have shaken Japan With a global-scale risk of a nuclear meltdown We're in it together, each state to a man On a planet shrunk tiny by web-sites and e-mails And Facebook and Twitter and chat-room romance Where iPhones flash footage of news as it happens If we're working together, then we might stand a chance Will you Christians and Jews, with your Western world views Come to lie down with the Muslims and the Sikhs and Hindus Will you godless Chinese leave Tibetans at ease Meditating on the mantra "In our time, bring us peace" Let's be mindful of the mantra "In our time, bring us peace"
