Valentine's Song (inspired by Ender's Game)

We all know the Ender's Game movie is coming out soon. If Ender's Game was ever made into a Broadway musical, this would be a ballad at the end of the third act, sung by Valentine to her brother before they fly away.

Verse:

It's a paradox of achieving world peace
with peace as the end, using war as the means
To ensure the continued survival of man
they took you and trained you
put a gun in your hand

Who of us asks to be born on this earth
and is there a purpose above
Ender, the hopes of the world hung on you
but despite all the war
don't forget you were made for love

Chorus:

Run away
to the stars beyond stars
leaving behind
wars upon wars
There's power in the violence within
in kissing the snake you found love without end

Bridge:

What do we do
now that your work is through
We are saved by the buggers' defeat

To keep you from being
a pawn in the hands
of our brother dear Peter
we will have to soon leave here
and fly across space, across time
