I guess a lot of stuff that I'm writing at the moment relates in some way to what is going on in Ukraine at the moment. This lyric is a reflection on how all of mankind must do better
Quest To Be Better
(Verse 1)
Don't go hunting unicorns
Let them frolic with their horns
Dragon scales are best left
Nestling on their heaving chest
(Chorus)
Let's have a quest to be better
Let's form a fellowship of love
And on our quest to be better
Let's keep going when the way gets tough
(Verse 2)
Don't go killing other folk
That way lies the end of hope
Whilst we're still drawing breath
Let's promise to not cause death
(Chorus)
Let's have a quest to be better
Let's form a fellowship of love
And on our quest to be better
Let's keep going when the way gets tough
(Bridge)
Beauty dazzles everywhere I look
In the trees, swaying leaves
In the stars, up past Mars
Beauty makes my eyes water
Til everything is blurred
(Verse 3)
Don't go hunting unicorns
Let them frolic with their horns
Dragon scales are best left
Nestling on their heaving chest
(Chorus)
Let's have a quest to be better
Let's form a fellowship of love
And on our quest to be better
Let's keep going when the way gets tough
(Verse 4)
Don't go ruining others' lives
With vitriol and sharpened knives
Leave the magic in this world
The innocence of boys and girls
(Chorus)
Let's have a quest to be better
Let's form a fellowship of love
And on our quest to be better
Let's keep going when the way gets tough

I agree wholeheartedly with your message, and I think your lyrics are beautiful! Your idea of refashioning the traditional idea of a quest as something often ending in violence into a journey instead toward our better selves is laudable and well-written. I only hope that we as a species will do it! <3
