So much trouble So much hate So many people dying In this day and age Children crying, women rage And still you can't find time to speak You don't understand "We're fighting for what we believe in" (they say) So wait there during the lyin' 'cause genocide isn't human (is it?) Whoever taught you that Has lost all their logic and reason Can't we put differences aside? We know all want the same To live in peaceful love and compassion Are we not the same? Before these events and manipulation We've all made mistakes So why just defy retaliation? We need to understand this is all our land So we rise up Rise above the hate And learn to compromise And look for a better way When will we wake up And see this killing is inhumane I know you're scared We've got to love again Love again Can't we love? It's possible, I know It's possible to coexist But we've got to rise above hatred Greed and salary differences We're not extremists We must compromise and learn to forgive Unless we wanna keep on living like this Not knowing what life truly is So we rise up Rise above this hate And learn to compromise And look for a better way When will you wake up See this killing is inhumane I know you're scared We've got to love again Love again We're all responsible Together we are powerful So let's unite And won't hate no more We can stop this war Let's stop a war So we rise up Come on rise above this hate And learn to compromise And look for a better way When will you wake up See this killing is inhumane I know you're scared my love Yeah you're scared my love So rise above this hate And learn to compromise And look for a better way When will you wake up See this killing is inhumane Yeah I know you're scared You've got to love again Love again Love again So rise up Rise up against evil Rise up against hell (Rise up, rise up) Rise up, rise up (Rise up, rise up) Rise up, rise up (Rise up, rise up) Why we living so desperately Why we living so stressfully Rise up, rise up Rise up, rise up Rise up
