There's too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
We don't need to escalate
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Barricades, can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
When our children can't play
There's got to be a better way
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's goin' on in the world today.
I'd rather be dead than to turn my head away
We got this first world vision too
Comfy to lift up our hands in the air
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong
United we stand, United we fall
Oh you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Barricades can't block our way
Darren Hayes (Savage Garden):
Don't punish me with brutality
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's goin' on-uh
What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
Got momma's crying out please
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Ask them why they don't bother
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
Won't get the chance to chase it
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
Somebody tell me what's going on
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
Don't nobody really want to die
I can't be watching people die
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
