    Ah, "Optional" - I get it now!

    Perhaps you should borrow some of the kids schoolbooks.

    You must mean predictive text not predicted text, and predictive text is unlikely to suggest optunial as no such word exists
    I can offer no resistance, I can offer no respite
    Wake me when conflict is over,
    I aim for a peaceful life,
    Wake me up when the fury is ended
    I like living a peaceful life
