Pain, Suffering, Hunger, Poverty
Another shooting, what's new
We've all become so immune
Tragedies every day
On the screen, but soon it fades
Always on to the next war
Destroying ourselves more and more
Viscous cycle Neverending
Close my eyes and try pretending
What if we put down the guns
The sticks, the stones, the fire bombs
Judge on the beauty that comes from within
Not by the color of your skin
And what if we stop saying words
That only cause the world to hurt
And took the time to give
What If
Fear all our lives
Just trying to survive
So it goes an eye for an eye
Eventually we'll end up blind
No one's ever truly safe
Anywhere, anyplace
Hurting hearts full of hate
In this world that we create
Viscous cycle Neverending
Close my eyes and try pretending
What if we put down the guns
The sticks, the stones, the fire bombs
Judge on the beauty that comes from within
Not by the color of your skin
And what if we stop saying words
That only cause a world of hurt
And took the time to give
What If
What if
What if we loved instead of fought
What if we forgave and forgot
What if we cared to other needs
Not just our own, but everybody's
And what if we put down the guns
The sticks, the stones, the fire bombs
Judge on the beauty that comes from within
Not by the color of your skin
And what if we stop saying words
That only cause a world of hurt
And took the time to give
What if
What if we loved
What if
What if we loved
What if
What if we loved
What if
What if we loved
