All your armies, All your fighters,
All your tanks and all your soldiers.
Against a boy holding a stone,
Standing there all alone.
In his eyes, I see the sun,
In his smile, I see the moon.
And I wonder, I only wonder.
Who is weak and who is strong,
Who is right and who is wrong.
And I wish, I only wish.
That the truth has a tongue.

All your tanks and all your soldiers.
Against a boy holding a stone,
Standing there all alone.
In his eyes, I see the sun,
In his smile, I see the moon.
And I wonder, I only wonder.
Who is weak and who is strong,
Who is right and who is wrong.
And I wish, I only wish.
That the truth has a tongue.
