Lyric
Bombs fly, angels cryTears that fall from the children’s eyesRain that waters the bitter weed of hateChoking out the tender heartThe strong survive but they bear the scarsAnother generation where the smokeNever clears awayWhy can’t we all get along with each otherBe a brother be a friendIf we loved each other moreThere’d be nothing left to fight forNo contender no surrender everybody winsDon’t say you can’t changeHuman nature it’s a greedy thingWell I’m a believerWhere there’s a will there’s a wayAnd I believe in standin’ upYou and yours but where there’s loveWe stand beside each other and we’reNot too proud to say
