People get ready There's something in the air Creeping in slow so we don't even notice Brothers and sisters beware
People get ready Open up your eyes Hatred and violence, millions fall silent We don't even hear their cries
It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers What are we fighting for? Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken What are we killing for? I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this What are we waiting for? Love teach us the way, to overcome hate And weapons of war
People get ready What's your loaded gun? Silent indifference Hunger for vengeance Or words from a wicked tongue
People get ready Only you can choose What you will do When it comes down to you No one else can walk in your shoes
It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers What are we fighting for? Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken What are we killing for? I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this What are we waiting for? Love teach us the way, to overcome hate And weapons of war
Oh my Lord I have a dream Oh my Lord One day we'll see Oh my Lord All men be free Oh my Lord I still believe
People let's love one another, we're sisters and brothers What are we fighting for? Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken What are we killing for? I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this What are we waiting for? Love teach us the way, to overcome hate And weapons of war
