Where are the winners?
Where are the winners?
War or special military operation,
fighting for your glorious nation,
where are the winners?
Children bombed, theaters in a fire.
Villages and cities disappear in shellfire.
Where are the winners?
Leaders want to conquer
just for a simple line, a border.
Where are the winners?
Now there are only losers
I'm afraid that beggars can't be choosers.
Where have the winners gone?
The winners who only prefer peace
and have the courage to let the war cease.
Where are the winners gone?
They were set upon,
Have they crawled away, flown to Mars,
or disappeared between the stars?
Now the earth inhabits only losers,
because of the peace abusers.
Where are the winners now?
We need their peaceful know-how.
We have to dig deep, looking for the winners,
Only in peace can we dig and are people Nobel prizewinners.
So give us, if necessary, a rusty spade,
To bury the war and make peace man-made.
So that everyone just can be a winner.
Desperately, I'm looking on earth for the winning mood.
Because now there is only loss that's being pursued.
Where are the winners today?
Perhaps for the winning peace, together, we can only pray.
