Whatever it Takes

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
