Sonny

On all fours on carpet floors, avoiding walls you crawl through doors,
Oh sonny, look at you go.
With cardboard boxes and a crayon swirl, you build yourself a brave new world,
Oh sonny, look at you go.
I hope someday, there will be, peace for you and  peace for me.

With school bag and a uniform, you take your place amid the storm.
Oh sonny, look at you grow.
With bow and arrow, take your aim, then cycle to a football game,
Oh sonny, look at you grow.
I hope some day, there will be, peace for you and peace for me.

Staying out ‘til after dark, meeting strange girls in the park,
Oh sonny, mind how you go.
Sometimes I see a hint of pain, but there’s no tears to wipe away,
Oh sonny mind how you go.
I hope someday, there will be, peace for you and peace for me.


I hope someday , there will be, peace for you and peace for me.
