Lyrics: Thomas Lassar
Music: Thomas Lassar
I see pain and destruction
I see death and despair
I see people with not enough to eat
I see lack of emotions
I see greed everywhere
I see the children of tomorrow in tears
Tell me how long… how long
Can we look but pretend not to see
This can’t go no this can’t go on
I want to believe but I keep losing faith
I hear words of deception
I hear lies all the time
I hear politicians speaking empty words
I hear shoots in the night prayers for life cries from the heart
I hear voices of terror preaching fear
Tell me how long… how long
Can we look but pretend not to see
This can’t go no this can’t go on
Why don’t we open our eyes
Here we stand it won’t be long
Until we finally got to choose right from wrong
There’s really noting more to say
Keep your hopes along the way and maybe
A day will come when we shall see
A better world for you and me
Tell me how long… how long
Can we look but pretend not to see
This can’t go no this can’t go on
I want to believe but I keep losing faith
