And while we're groping, groping, can't we give each other a hand?

Every nation at war is doing it, dad—become like one big family—with everyone helping, doing his share.

Must a nation be at war to do that?

Can't we be brothers without the guns?

Can't you see that we're all of us stunned, and trying to see what war will mean to all the children in the world?

And while we're groping, groping, can't we give each other a hand?
