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 everyday citizen

Greed, envy, fear, hate, the competition has to stop
When you see someone down
Now's the time to pick them up
Set your 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 of the hatred? Hey, hey
Violence hey hey, fighting hey
Killing hey, dying hey

And 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
