People get ready
There's something in the air
Creeping in slow so we don't even notice

Brothers and sisters beware

People get ready

Open up your eyes
Hatred and violence, millions fall silent
We don't even hear their cries


It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?

Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this

What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of war


People get ready
What's your loaded gun?

Silent indifference
Hunger for vengeance
Or words from a wicked tongue


People get ready
Only you can choose

What you will do
When it comes down to you
No one else can walk in your shoes


It's time to love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?

Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this

What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of war


Oh my Lord
I have a dream

Oh my Lord
One day we'll see
Oh my Lord

All men be free
Oh my Lord
I still believe


People let's love one another, we're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?

Too many backs that are breaking, lives being taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness, to rise up and end this

What are we waiting for?
Love teach us the way, to overcome hate
And weapons of war
