Greg Hastings 'song WAR TO END WARS' written in 1979
Sadly the lyrics are still very poignant in our world today.
WAR TO END WARS
So many years have gone by
I have good reason to cry
Remembering trenches in hell
And all of my mates as they fell
In that war to end wars
I was a boy of sixteen
Little of life had I seen
But my awakening came
As I lay in the trenches of Somme
In that war to end wars
For 'twas there that I saw grown men cry
Knowing that they were to die
Did they give their lives aimlessly
Believing they'd set us free
From a war to end wars
Does it seem such a long time ago ?
What is the world doing now ?
Can it's shadow be no longer cast ?
Is war just a thing of the past ?
Like the war to end wars
Then why did my son die so soon ?
He died on that sixth day of June
My Grandson was killed in Saigon
But I thought that I gave my all
In that war to end wars
How long must this madness go on ?
Before all man's killing is done
I fear that we'll never be free
And the next war maybe, just the war
The war to end wars

Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
Greg Hastings chose his business name 'Sweetpea' after his father Stan Hastings passed away, on Greg's birthday, the hour he was born. Sweetpea was his Dad's favourite flower.
Stan Hastings was a well known character on the Perth Folk scene and ran the legendary 'Stables Folk Club' in Perth, where ‘The Hastings Family’ sang (Stan, Greg and sister Val).
Stan and Greg were founding members of the original 'Mucky Duck Bush Band' in Western Australia. Greg's mother, Dot Hastings, suggested the band’s name... “Mucky Duck - because the emblem of Western Australia is a Black Swan”
