the world awakes most mornings
and the news is always black
the newsreader is commenting
on another violent attack
another poor soul's been murdered
in search of another cause
it's always religion or politics
that starts the numerous wars
all in the name of religion
it makes my blood run cold
how can people do this?
how can they be so bold
spouting ideologies
they never seem to pause
to consider what they're doing
in furthering their cause
learn to be tolerant
and learn to forgive
always on the lookout
just isn't a way to live
we need to stand together
we need to stand and fight
for tolerance and justice
and make the world alright
why can't we live together
as we're orbiting the sun
I have this life I want to live
why can't we live as one
why can't we live together
as we're orbiting the sun
