We’re the Raging Grannies calling out from far and wide,
Rising up together like a mighty ocean tide,
To stop the wars and killing so we all can live and thrive,
One human fam’ly strong.
CHORUS:
No more wars upon this planet!
War’s a crime and it’s a racket!
We must learn to live together as we raise our voice in song,
One human family strong.
We don’t want our children to be taught to fight and harm,
And so we work incessantly for nations to disarm.
War has never been the answer, so we’re sounding the alarm:
No more war, no way!
REPEAT CHORUS
The hearts of women know that war’s a game that no one wins.
We won’t be taken in by all the lies and all the spin.
Now’s the time to come together working for a brighter day
As we demand a better way!
REPEAT CHORUS
