Bad news and problems,

confusion everywhere

In this crazy world

peace and love seem so far away

People are still chased and on the run

some think salvation is a loaded gun

So tell me…

Why do people always destroy what they don’t understand?

Why can’t we live together peacefully, hand in hand?

Why do people still not realize that our roots are the same?

Why do men make war, kill and make us cry — what a shame

Tears and pain

drive me so insane

Tears and pain

drive me so insane

All these tears and all this pain

So all you leaders, preachers, people of different strains,

come together, we are looking at the same sun

Join together, don’t be blinded 

by hatred and the spirit of war

So stand up and grab your neighbor’s hand,

create the good news today for tomorrow

No more tears, no more pain,

no more — no more

No more tears and no more pain,

no, no — no more

Come together, make it happen,

just let the sunshine in

and let peace rain down on us all

No more tears, no more pain,

come together and make it happen

No more tears, no more pain,

cause we can make it

I believe we can make it together

Stand up for peace and show me your love

Just stand up for peace

and show me your love
