lyrics
Right before our eyes, you see it everyday
Can’t spin no more lies. It’s plain as day
The truth it hurts. Gotta have it’s say
Silence not the answer. Just a lack of courage
Gotta stand right up, channel fury
Get something done, too long been buried
Hatred evolved into something else
Love and only love can heal thepast
Reconcile mistakes with a better plan
Help one another, gotta help one another
Then you help yourself
Long past time, to end the madness
All the broken dreams, all the sadness
Can’t escape the truth and hide all this badness
Gotta push ourselves from our comfort zone
No compromise, bring that victory home
Can’t solve this mess, talkin on the phone
Hatred evolved into something else
Even children know it’s a false pretense
It’s not only wrong, it just makes no sense
Help one another, gotta help one another
Gotta help one another
Then you help yourself
