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…
