I wish they could use trumpets more often, instead of bombs and machine guns.  Wishful thinking, I guess.

A heart was touched

A mind was changed

He was not a coward for doing that

He was a wise man who changed his mind, I say of that German Sniper

A song was exchanged for peace in a war

A good trade

I think and always will
