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
