This was a world wide day of protest, and not a failure. You are not the reality but just one person trying to discourage us, as did the Robo Cops try to turn away newcomers, etc.
We shall not be moved, "just like a tree that's standing by the water, we shall not be moved."
WHEN THE WAR IS DONE
So many times in history
we've watched them march away
some cry out for victory
some just stand and pray
for this father's daughter
for this mother's son
what will happen to the rest of us
when the war is done?
CHORUS: What will happen to the rest of us
When the war is over?
What will happen to the rest of us
when the war is done?
Some are quick to honor
some are quick to blame
Few can face the truth
that this all happens in our name
before the first shot's fired
Our battle has begun
what will happen to the rest of us
When the war is done?
CHORUS
those who fight the battles
Are not those who make the laws
but bravery is still bravery
Even in an unjust cause
From the hand that signs the order
To the hand that fires the gun
what will happen to the rest of us
when the war is done? CHORUS
Some lie solitary
Beneath a hero's stone
some return to loved ones
But will always be alone
something sacred will be lost
When the war is won
what will happen to the rest of us
when the war is done?
Repeat chorus
what will happen to the rest of us
when the war is over?
What will happen to the rest of us
when the war is won?

Si Kahn’s, "When the war is done"
is a strong reminder, that war just doesn't
affect those fighting the battles.
It impacts our entire society.
Soldiers, politicians, protestors and apathetic
all have a stake in what our country
does in our name. Si Kahn asks the
hard questions. Can we find the answers?
