Оригинален текст
In a war far away, what are they fighting for
Most of those problems that they cannot seem to get along
If there were problems there, can't they solve them now
Although you may not comprehend
Peace is fought for in the end
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
Sometimes it makes me laugh
Sometimes it makes me cry
Will there be such a day when peace comes to stay
With all the problems in the world
I can't tell you that it would
Don't they know that through peace we could change the world
It's seems to me they know no more
That peace is what they're fighting for
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
Sometimes it makes me laugh
Sometimes it makes me cry
I'm beginning to wonder why
I won't tell no lie
I just don't know why
No matter how I try
I wonder why
I wonder why
When I'm grown and a man, will I fight a war
I hope there'll be no wars by then
But the fight for peace may never end
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
Sometimes it makes me laugh
Sometimes it makes me cry
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
Sometimes it makes me laugh
Sometimes it makes me cry
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
It's not a perfect world
I don't want to lie
It's not a perfect world
