It's in the paper everyday
you see it in the headlines and you feel so sick ya
as another life leaves this world
this world so full of hate
but short, short on compassion
short on humanity
asking myself in vein
shaken by the shock "do we even have a chance?"
chorus:
I dont wannna die
i dont wanna kill
i dont wanna kill
i dont wanna die
we are all human
lets start to prove it
This is a plea for peace
world peace!
to the oppressors of the world
and to the leaders of nations
corperate profit takers
to the everyday citizens
greed,
envy,
fear,
hate,
the competition has to stop
when you see someone down
nows the time to pick them up!
Set our differeces aside and never look back no!
chorus:
I dont wannna die
i dont wanna kill
i dont wanna kill
i dont wanna die
we are all human
lets start to prove it
Isnt everybody tierd of the fighting?
Isnt everybody tierd of the killing?
Isnt everybody tierd of the dying?
Isnt everybody tierd of the hatred?
VIOLENCE!
FIGHTING!
KILLING!
DYING!
AHHHHHHH!
" So even though
we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream of when 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
'Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!' "
chorus:
I dont wannna die
i dont wanna kill
i dont wanna kill
i dont wanna die
we are all human
lets start to prove it
