It's hard sometimes to speak my mind A sympathetic ear is never easy to find In a world where we're taught to be quiet and obey Is there any wonder why we don't have much to say?
When religious wars are being fought to the death If you're speaking for God my friend you're out of your depth When it's the same kind of message you're trying to preach You talk about love and you talk about peace
But somewhere along the line your wires are crossed And somewhere along the line your message is lost
Now everybody's talking And I think that what is missing Is ability to listen to what is being said Instead of blankly nodding your head Ignoring what you hear cos you're waiting For your chance to speak
They'll blame it on love They'll blame it on hate I call that a failure to communicate
