The story has changed The meaning's been lost from page to page How did we let it get this way? How can something so simple and pure Be turned into something so sinister? Where is the hope, where is the love? Without these your system will self destruct Where is the hope, where is the love? Without these your system will self destruct My eyes see differently The parts of the world you choose not to see The people living in misery Are the people you write off so blindly Where is the hope, where is the love? Without these your system will self destruct Where is the hope, where is the love? Without these your system will self destruct Pray for me Because we don't see eye to eye The word has promised life Yet you condemn billions Billions to die You're committing religious mass genocide Where is the hope, where is the love? Without these your system will self destruct Where is the hope, where is the love? Without these your system will self destruct You can't change our place in eternity You won't change my place in eternity
