Just as the sun was rising
The sound of the uprising
Women and children crying
The crunch of marching feet
Why can't we live in peace
We live in troubled times
And chills the heart of every nation
She tries to steal your soul away
She spreads a shadow through the day
Why can't we live in peace
Why can't we live, no release
You and I, we don't know why so many people cry
You and I, we don't understand the warlike ways of man
Why can't we live in peace
Why can't we live, no release
You and I, we don't know why so many people cry
You and I, we don't understand the warlike ways of man
You and I, we don't know why so many people cry
