911 For Peace

It's in the paper every day

I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick

yeah

As 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.

Let's start to prove it.

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human.

Let's start 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 everyday citizen

Greed

envy

fear

hate - the competition has to stop.

When you see someone down

now's the time to pick them up

Set your 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.

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human.

Let's start 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 (hey

hey)… fighting (hey)… killing (hey)… dying (hey)… aaaaaaah!

(excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:)

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.

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human.

Let's start to prove it.

We are all human

It's time to prove it.

We are all human…
