Samantha's Song

by Cathie Stebbins (1983)

I’m writing you this letter

Because I’m so confused

You see I’m only ten years old

With already so much to lose

My country wishes peace –

So does yours you say

But when I watch the news each night

I hear about D-Day

It seems to me with technology

We could learn to help each other

With satellites and silicon chips

We could do much better

You say you’ll help – war’s never been the way

It’s time to stop just talking

You’ve said all you can say

It seems to me with all I can see

We should all be helping one another, another. . .

You see I’m only ten years old and

There’s a lot around just like me

But from where I stand you and Uncle Sam

Won’t leave us much to see

So please say you’ll do

What’s right and should be done

So I can stop this worrying

And start to have some fun

Start to have some fun, yeah

Start to have some fun

It seems to me with all I can see

We should all be helping one another,

Another, one another, another,

One another, can you bother.
