This Is Our War

Once there was a nation here

Now there is no more

Once we fought to change our fears

But now this is our war (This is our war)

This is our warWash your mind out, where's your morals?

How many people have to live this sorrow?

Life should not be begged or borrowed

How many really want to change tomorrow?We're still playing the prideful game

As we profile the enemy that we created

We're still playing the prideful game

With the cards on the table

In the end we're all the same

Where's the compassion in the world today?

Yeah, we're all the same

Until we find another way

This is our war (This is our war)Once there was a nation here

Now there is no more (This is our war)

Once we fought for change arm in arm

But now this is our warDivisive words from ivory towers

Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers

Countless fools and reckless cowards

Rally the people in the quest for powerWe're still playing the prideful game

As we profile the enemy that we created

We're still playing the prideful game

With the cards on the table

In the end we're all the same

Where's the compassion in the world today?

Yeah, we're all the same

Until we find another way

This is our war (This is our war)Once there was a nation here

Now there is no more (This is our war)

Once we fought for change arm in arm

But now this is our warIs this the land of segregation?

Is this a place that we call home?

Don't let the old style generation

Carry the flag for you and me no more

This is our war

This is our warWe're into the red, We're into the red

And as it burns the fire spreads

We're under the threat, We're under the threat

Will it still burn tomorrow?Once there was a nation here

Now there is no more

Once we fought to change our fears

But now this is our war (This is our war)Once there was a nation here

Now there is no more (This is our war)

Once we fought for change arm in arm

But now this is our warIs this the land of segregation?

Is this a place that we call home?

Don't let the old style generation

Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war)Once there was a nation divided

Now this is our war (This is our war)

Once we stand embraced arm in arm

We stand for something more
