Lyrics:

Will I let this time

Define my state of mind?

Will I let the news

Be my only muse?

Will I let these leaders

Be my only meters

on how to live, love

work and die….

Will we swallow laws

just because?

Will we swallow fate

until it’s too late?

Will we swallow war

As nothing more

than a tragic chapter

in the human factor…

I can’t take it anymore

There’s gotta be a change for sure

I’m so sick of being numb

Would it make a difference if I gave you some of that

LOVE

Is difference of skin

an excuse to sin?

Is difference of faith

An excuse to hate?

does difference of land

define the man?

Or all we all the same

Beneath this losing game

We won’t take it anymore

There’s gonna be a change for sure

We’re so done with being numb

Give me some, let me give you some of that

LOVE

Some say that hope is a fool just wasting time

I say that hope is a prayer that can change… that can change mankind

What about Love   

LOVE

   

When we gonna treat every heart that beats with

LOVE
