(the awakening)

and the world’s at war again…
my daddy says the stupid ones
do stupid things three times in a roll
before they understand
either there’re too many stupid ones
or their stupidity can’t have an end

so the world’s at war again…
children will get motherless again
and die alone
flowers will be stepped upon the battle field
and be soaked up with tears and blood
exchanging human lives and souls
for little drops of black gold

so i ask, why?
we’re all together on the same old blue balloon
floating in the endless space
there’s nowhere else to escape

so the world’s at war again…
while they drop the bombs from high above
they cannot see the enemy’s eyes
‘cause if only they could
they’d see beyond the color of the skin
and the way he worships god
that he’s just another man
a brother in the universal home

so i ask, why?
we’re all together on the same old blue balloon
floating in the endless space
there’s nowhere else to escape
