[Verse 1]
You have made great planes that span the sky
Gave sight to the blind with other men's eyes
Why you can crush any country in a matter of weeks
So it don't make sense that you can't make peace

[Verse 2]
You take one man's heart and make another man live
You even go to the moon and you come back thrilled
You make a deaf man hear and a dumb man speak
So it don't make sense that you can't make peace
No it don't make sense that you can't make peace

[Verse 3]
You can make a transfusion that can save a life
You can change the darkness into broad daylight
You make a submarine stay submerged for weeks
So it don't make sense that you can't make peace

[Bridge]
(If you can't make peace)
You know it don't make sense
I know it don't make sense (If you can't make peace)
We know it don't make sense
That you can't make peace (If you can't make peace)
No it don't make sense (If you can't make peace)
It don't make sense
It's supposed to be a peaceful world
Peaceful world

[Outro]
(It don't make sense if we can't make peace)
You know it don't make sense (If you can't make peace)
You know it don't make sense (If you can't make peace)
You know it don't make sense (Oh, if you can't make peace)
(It don't make sense if we can't make peace)
You can't make peace, oh (If you can't make peace)
(It don't make sense if we can't make peace)
No (If you can't make peace)
It don't make sense that you can't make peace
(It don't make sense if we can't make peace)
Oh, it don't make sense (If you can't make peace)
Oh, it won't make sense (If you can't make peace)

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
