Well we talked about the world
When I met you backstage
A generation apart
Found ourselves on the same page
And though the years have rolled on by
Seems to me that nothing ever changes
When oh when will the world learn?
That you can't win peace with a bullet
And peace is more precious than gold
You can't make frightened people
Feel safe with media vitriol
And with every drop of blood
Another heart is breaking breaking
'Til all that's left is a planet of broken hearts and broken love
A thousand miles across the sea
Another mothers anguished cry
And family flee in search of a new life
Where their children can roam free
A place of choice and opportunity
Can you tell me,
Who wouldn't want that?
But you can't win peace with a bullet
And peace is more precious than gold
You can't make frightened people
Feel safe with media vitriol
And with every drop of blood
Another heart is breaking breaking
'Til all that's left is a planet of broken hearts and broken love
And who are you, who are you
To sit there and talk semantics
While people die
And how is it ok to play God?
Well did no one ever tell you
That you can't win peace with a bullet
And peace is more precious than gold
You can't make frightened people
Feel safe with media vitriol
And with every drop of blood
Another heart is breaking breaking
'Til all that's left is a planet of broken hearts and broken love
