on the way to finding peace
there's a cancer in this country, fueled by fires of greed and hate,
you can feel the earth stopped breathing, as human hearts begin to break
hard to walk the straight and narrow, struggles bring you to your knees,
lonely souls in cardboard boxes, fallen heroes line the streets
we are many races, many nations, and we're all yearning to be free,
why can't we choose love and grace to guide us, on the way to finding peace
can't escape the pain of hunger, gnawing seeps into your veins,
no hands to heal a mothers child, splintered trees weep in the rain
fear comes clothed in many colors, it strips away who you are,
old faces long forgotten, sacred
creeds lost in the dark
we are many races, many nations, and we're all yearning to be free,
why can't we choose love and grace to guide us, on the way to finding peace
somewhere between here and goodbye, lies hope within all human kind
we are many races, many nations, and we're all yearning to be free,
why can't we choose love and grace to guide us, on the way to finding peace
on the way, on the way to finding peace, why can't we love
on the way, on the way to finding peace, why can't we love
