Can be sung to the air of Clare’s Dragoons.
Written September 2006 and adapted October for singing.
See: sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiCLAREDRG;ttCLAREDRG.html for tune and words
See: www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/history/jacobite_era.htm for history and words.
Empires built on force give rise,
To yet more plans to battle and to fight.
To combat evil, first we need,
To admit that might is never right.
Reducing countries to the stone-age,
If with their policies we do not agree,
Is clearly a waste of God-given talents,
Stupidity to the nth degree.
Chorus
No ‘Viva la’ to US Dragoons,
No ‘Viva la’ to other armies too,
Let’s build a world of justice and love,
Which reflects the Peace of God above.
US soldiers pass through Shannon
And head to where their bombs are to be dropped.
It’s more than time to face this issue,
Collaboration with them should be stopped.
Many feel shame & humiliating anger,
As people cry while their dearly loved-ones die.
May amends be made to all the victims,
Whose homes and lives in shatters lie.
We should always try to listen,
To informed opinions & enlightening debate,
Hear the grievance of those suffering,
And help them overcome their hate.
Peace on Earth is always possible,
By following just a very simple Truth,
Revealed in all the Christian gospels,
Of Matthew, Mark, and John & Luke.
Returning Good for every Evil,
Is the only way of genuine true Peace.
Goodwill leads us to seek forgiveness,
Thus grace from God we can release.
Love is shown to be more powerful,
When searching for a better way to build,
A world where harmony will always lead
To no more people being hurt or killed.
