    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote the refrain of this song as a poem during the saber-rattling post 9-11. The rest took half a year to germinate.

    Lyrics
    Do I stand tall? Am I proud?
    Not today, not today.
    Will I cheer another war?
    Not today, not tomorrow.
    My weapons I have cast aside
    Some yesterday, some long ago;
    I will not pick them up again,
    Not today, not today.

    Who is the foe? Who must we kill?
    None today, none today.
    Who will go, and who will die?
    None today, none tomorrow.
    Hide the truth while you can,
    It will be seen someday soon;
    I will not believe the lies,
    Not today, not today.

    I will stand tall, I will be proud,
    Comes a day, comes a day.
    When we all can live in peace,
    If not today, then tomorrow.
    Let my brother take my hand,
    Let my sister stand by me;
    I will not call them enemy,
    Not today, not today.
