Though we're fighting no great wars,
Still every day, we're fighting great wars.
Every day, we all are fighting the wars—
Wars to live freely,
Wars to have freedom from thoughts,
Wars to have educational rights,
Wars against the evil practices in our societies,
Wars against our democratic rights,
Wars of living and dying,
Wars of working and thinking.

These never-ending wars
Are the tunnels of life,
And we all have to walk through them.

Let us not fear these wars of life.
Let us not fear our mind,
As it is where we're fighting
The greatest war of all.

The war of freedom
Is not only about physical struggles.

Though we're fighting no great wars,
Still, we're fighting every day—
A new great war.
