let's sing for all the fathers
who's sons are far away
let's sing for all the mothers
they're praying everyday

our sisters and our brothers
in a war they'll never win
started by the greedy
cold hearts full of sin

ah-ah-ah-ah

we're singing for the children
who's parents had to die
and when you hear them crying
there's tears on both sides

we're singing for each other
we all want the same
and when will we discover
that we're all human beings

and killing for religion
is such a stupid plan
no ones god is better
respect your fellow man

let's sing for those in power
who say they understand
there's no more patronizing
it's time you take a stand

remember where you started
and who you're working for
no more empty speeches
cause we won't take no more
