Call To PEACE

By Douglas DoNascimento (Feat: Scarlet Theron)

This song is a powerful plea for peace, compassion, and humanity in the face of war and suffering. It highlights the devastating toll of conflict, especially on innocent lives, and urges for the release of hostages as a crucial step toward ending pain and destruction. The repeated call to “let the hostages go” emphasizes the urgency of freeing the captives to restore dignity and hope. The message expresses that true peace can only be achieved when empathy, reason, and a commitment to human life override blame and violence, leading to reconciliation and freedom for all.

The Lyrics

Innocent lives are lost

destruction upon destruction

The sorrow nears its peak

The blood of the children cry from the ground

 

Let the hostages go

Let, let, let, (let them go)

Let the hostages go (GO)

Let the hostages go

 

It’s time to end

This war of attrition

End the pain

Regardless of blame

 

Let the hostages go

Let, let, let, (let them go)

Let the hostages go (GO)

Let the hostages go

 

The war will end

When the cooler heads prevail

When the captured is freed

Peace can be obtained

 

Let the hostages go

Let, let, let, (let them go)

Let the hostages go (GO)

Let the hostages go

 

Free the suffering

Free the peoples

Let the captured free

and embrace peace.
