Why Cant we have Peace

[Verse 1]
Why do the skies keep filling with smoke,
Why are the promises always just broke
Children are crying with nowhere to run,
The world keeps turning, but where is the sun

[Verse 2]
We speak of love but sharpen the blade,
Building up borders that fear has made.
Fathers go off and don't come back,
While mothers hold on through the silent attack.

[Chorus]
Why can't we have peace, is it only a dream
we all need some hope if you know what I mean
Is hate so loud that it blurs out the view
When will we learn we should know what to do
We all bleed red, we all need some grace
Why can't we make the world a more peaceful place

[Verse 3]
The fields once green now echo with loss,
Too many dreams broken, consider the cost
History’s pages soaked into the tears
Of centuries lost to anger and fears.

[Bridge]
What if we listened, what if we tried
What if the truth was not pushed aside
What if the weapons were all turned to dust,
And all that was left was mercy and trust

Why can't we have peace, is it only a dream
we all need some hope if you know what I mean
Is hate so loud that it blurs out the view
When will we learn we should know what to do
We all bleed red, we all need some grace
Why can't we make the world a more peaceful place

[Outro]
One voice, one heart, one world to mend,
Let peace begin… let war come to an end.

Why can't we have peace, is it only a dream
we all need some hope if you know what I mean
Is hate so loud that it blurs out the view
When will we learn we should know what to do
We all bleed red, we all need some grace
Why can't we make the world a more peaceful place
