It's in the paper every day |
|
I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah |
|
Another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate |
|
But short |
|
Short on compassion |
|
Short on humanity |
|
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock, |
|
"do we even have a chance?" |
|
I don't wanna die |
|
(I don't wanna kill) |
|
I don't wanna kill |
|
(I don't wanna die) |
|
We are all human. |
|
It's time to prove it. |
|
This is a plea for peace (world peace) |
|
To the oppressors of the world and to |
|
To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers, |
|
to the everday citizen |
|
Greed, envy, fear, hate-- the competition has to stop. |
|
When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up |
|
Set our differences aside and never look back, no |
|
I don't wanna die |
|
(I don't wanna kill) |
|
I don't wanna kill |
|
(I don't wanna die) |
|
We are all human |
|
It's time to prove it. |
|
Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey) |
|
Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey) |
|
Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey) |
|
Isn't everybody tired of the hatred? (hey, hey) |
|
Violence.. fighting... killing...dying.. aaaaaah!! |
|
[excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:] |
|
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, |
|
I still have a dream |
|
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, |
|
black men and white men |
|
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join |
|
hands and sing |
|
"Free at last, free at last. |
|
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last." |
|
I don't wanna die |
|
(I don't wanna kill) |
|
I don't wanna kill |
|
(I don't wanna die) |
|
We are all human |
|
It's time to prove it. |
|
We are all human |
|
It's time to prove it. |
|
We are all human... |
