The battles you will win with arms
And only love can win the war
The battles you will win with arms
And only love will win the war
She says I’m high am I must be smoking
So much kush in bed
Why am I talking about these crazy things
Like who really has the most to gain
The ones who fan the flame
The ones who tell the tales
That history never fails
Their words are from a page
A shackle for the brave
So the dragon’s dreams came true
What about me and you
We can be butterflies
If only you knew
The battles you will win with arms
And only love will win the war
We can be butterflies
Now if you hear what I say
Only the sun can bring the day
We can be butterflies
They say I’m naive and that the bets were already in
And I didn’t have a poker face
Oh the river was just around the bend
For some it’s just a game
The ones who sell the bombs
the bullets and the guns
They build the tanks and planes
Sanctifies our pain
Oh the serpents dreams came true
Why not me and you
Now we can be butterflies
If only you knew
The battles you will win with arms
And only love can win the war
We can be butterflies
Can you hear what I say
Only the sun can bring the day
We can be butterflies
We can be butterflies
