LYRICS for the song titled ‘Send Love To The Front Line’

Bullets flying soldiers dying
The war machine leaves mothers crying
Hatred’s grip is strangling tight
Darkness falls obscuring light

Stop fighting can’t you see
We’re tearing down humanity
Why is love so far behind
Send love to the frontline

Leaders preaching still deceiving
With every word more hearts are grieving
Lines are drawn with blood they’re etched
Innocence lost no soul untouched

Stop fighting can’t you see
We’re tearing down humanity
Why is love so far behind
Send love to the frontline

Send love to the frontline

Send love to the front line
Have we learnt nothing from history.
Why must we keep fighting amongst ourselves.
Why do so many lives continue to be lost.
