Turned on the news today,
What else do I see?
Something going on somewhere else
It means the world to me

Shots going off,
Right on my TV
And I can't help myself,
To think this could be me

Why do we have to fight?
Why do we have to cry?
Sacrifice our lives
To prove we have the right,
Then sleep these lonely nights

Why does it have to hurt,
To mend these endless burns?
What do we have to lose,
There's nothing left to prove
Where there's a will, there's a way

Walking down the road today,
A lady came up to me
Asking where her child had gone,
It's so hard to believe

One minute you're there,
The next minute you're gone
What's going on?
And I can't help myself,
To think these things went wrong

Why do we have to fight?
Why do we have to cry?
Sacrifice our lives
To prove we have the right,
Then sleep these lonely nights

Why does it have to hurt,
To mend these endless burns?
What do we have to lose,
There's nothing left to prove
Where there's a will, there's a way

Why do we have to fight?
Why do we have to cry?
Sacrifice our lives
To prove we have the right,
Then sleep these lonely nights

Why does it have to hurt,
To mend these endless burns?
What do we have to lose,
There's nothing left to prove
Where there's a will, there's a way
