There is a peaceful solution.
It's called a peace revolution.
Now let's take back America.
There's a war and we're in it,
but I know we can win it.
So let's take back America.
It's a dream, so believe it.
Now get ready to receive it.
And let's take back America.
And when the war is over and we've won it
let's remember how we done it,
because we might have to do it again.
There is a peaceful solution.
It's called a peace revolution.
Now let's take back America.
There's a war and we're in it,
but I know we can win it.
Now let's take back America.
There was a peace resolution
and a peaceful revolution
and the peaceful solution saved America.

Why Your Ongoing Support Is Essential
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
