What I'm saying, friend, may surprise you Though I trust you will listen and hear I'm not out to make you angry We both know beneath our anger lies our fear It sounds so simple and it's so complicated Not gentle, not just a warm feeling Many will die in the name of peace But war will not lead us to healing I meant what I said, Peter, put down your sword Did you forget or did you think I was joking? This is not why I'm here, Peter, not to destroy The world is already so broken Maybe you think I'm a fool Maybe a fool's what I am Maybe I will die for nothing And nothing will change in the end Yes, I am scared and I'm angry That we live in this occupied land Where the Romans can kill us at random But the Romans do not rule my hands There are so many lives on the line here This is not some philosopher's game And if you draw your sword Peter You may not raise that sword in my name Songtexte I meant what I said, Peter, put down your sword Did you forget or did you think I was joking? This is not why I'm here, Peter, not to destroy The world is already so broken Maybe you think I'm a fool Maybe a fool's what I am Maybe I will die for nothing If nothing will change in the end God bless the children of Abraham God bless the Romans who reign God bless the peacemakers and warriors Who each think the other insane But I meant what I said, Peter, put down your sword Did you forget or did you think I was joking?
