Far Across the stream,
Lies the key to our dreams
So like a river down the hills,
Our troubles keep gaining pills
The minister is missing,
And the date, they keep re-fixing
In the news, 'they say we can'
But everyday, we still need a scan
Some people have the answers,
But they're like heavy bouncers
Others are deep in the woods,
Looking for shortcuts for good
But the stream seem too wide
For such a simple stride
So before you cut another strip,
Beware of the bloods you drip
Too many lives've been lost,
Fighting for the right cause
But while wars come and go,
The warriors protect our homes
So whatever it takes,
We're prepared for the stakes
