I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
because my conscience leaves me no other choice

A true revolution of values will lay hand
on the world order and say of war,
`This way of settling differences is not just.`

This business of burning human beings with napalm,
of filling our nation`s homes with orphans
and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate

into the veins of peoples normally humane,
of sending men home from dark
and bloody battlefields physically handicapped

and psychologically deranged,
cannot be reconciled with wisdom,
justice, and love
cannot be reconciled with wisdom,
justice, and love

cannot be reconciled with wisdom,
justice, and love
cannot be reconciled with wisdom,
justice, and love
cannot be reconciled with wisdom,
justice, and love
