911 for Peace

It's in the paper every day

I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah

As another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate

But short

Short on compassion

Short on humanity

Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock

"do we even have a chance?"

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

This is a plea for peace (world peace)

To the oppressors of the world and to

To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers

To the everday citizen

Greed, envy, fear, hate-- the competition has to stop

When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up

Set our differences aside (never look back, no)

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)

Isn't everybody tired for the hatred? (hey, hey)

Violence...(hey, hey)

Fighting... (hey)

Killing...(hey)

Dying... (hey)

Aaaaaaaah!!

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow

I still have a dream

We will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children

Black men and white men

Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join

Hands and sing

"Free at last, free at last

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last. "

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

I don't wanna die

(I don't wanna kill)

I don't wanna kill

(I don't wanna die)

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

We are all human

Let's start to prove it

We are all human...
