Steel Violin Lyrics

Steel Violin
( Sonja Peschel / September 2001 / © Pesobeco Musikverlag)

1. Why can’t we live in peace?
Ev’ryone wants to live.
Only the wind knows the reason why
So many people died.

Melt all arms away, this is what I sing,
And build instead, and build instead, please, build a steel violin.

Please, bring us back the sun, violin.
Sunshine can help us, and love can help us, beautiful music within.

2. Can you hear the violin?
Music is in the air.
I hope the message will fly round the world
And you’ll hear it ev’rywhere. Melt all arms away …

3. The whole world should really say:
Put all your arms away.
No one can fight with a steel violin,
You only want to sing. Melt all arms away … (2x)
