The War Can Be Over
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
(“Happy Xmas (War is Over)”)
A simple truth, really, but one of the most difficult to embrace:
The war you’re in, whatever it may be, and whoever else may be engaged, can be over. Tonight. If you want it.
All you have to do is stop your side of the fighting.
Peace begins with pause,
Here are the three best versions of “Happy Xmas (War is Over)”:
- John Lennon
- Aino Venna (a Finnish female artist—this version just came out and it is hauntingly beautiful)
- Sarah McLachlan
