How did we get this far

How did this come to be

Why does fear dominate

When all we want is peace

We've got to find a way to heal

The wounds that we have bled

The empires fall

And rise again



Save us, save us from ourselves

Now



We're fighting without a reason

We're killing her softly day by day

We're guilty we're all in treason

It's time to mend this great divide



We have to end the hate

And fight hypocrisy

We have to believe in life

And all humanity

Think of the children that have to live

In what we leave behind

The empires fall

And rise again



Save us, save us from ourselves

Now



We're fighting without a reason

We're killing her softly day by day

We're guilty we're all in treason

It's time to mend this great divide
