Arms Held High
Arms held high
All together now
I'm dreaming of peace
A place we can live in harmony
Where we don't gotta worry about
What's harming us so
What's it going to take?
Another dropped bomb
Another mistake?
All the hate I stand back I can't relate
We just try to get by
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held...
Look at the news
Police brutality
Overseas another fatility
Shootings abound
Mental insanity making the rounds
Mob mentality suddenly sound
I don't get it
Why we scare to die
If we can't even live
On a planet we claim is advancing?
Here I get shot a rude glance
Cease fire excuse my firm stance
I guess we all bought into the lies
I guess money talks louder than lives
Political agenda given the time
You and I were always denied
(You and I were always denied)
Understand we can't get by
Without the ones at our sides
We see this color on the outside
But can't see how primitive it is
To base judgement on skin
And I'm sick of it
Arms held high
All together now
I'm dreaming of peace
A place we can live in harmony
Where we don't gotta worry about
What's harming us so
What's it going to take?
Another dropped bomb
Another mistake?
All the hate I stand back I can't relate
We just try to get by
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held...
We have these enemies
And we fight these wars
But in the end
What are we really fighting for?
We've been settling scores the same way
Since before Christ or Mohammed or Buddha was born
Is it worth people killing?
Is it worth people dying?
Doesn't make sense to me
The mind is more powerful than any weapon
It will ever conceive
Let me repeat
The mind is more powerful than any weapon
It will ever conceive
Now we need every soul to believe it
No doubt when the people of the world
Come together for one goal
Looking through one scope
We will achieve it
On that day, making that choice
Six thousand languages will speak in one voice
We'll only find peace if we never lose hope
That one day
The future will be better than the past we wrote
Arms held high
All together now
I'm dreaming of peace
A place we can live in harmony
Where we don't gotta worry about
What's harming us so
What's it going to take?
Another dropped bomb
Another mistake?
All the hate I stand back I can't relate
We just try to get by
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held...
Hand in hand we clutch
Now I ask
Who is stronger than us?
Hand in hand we clutch
Now I ask
Who is stronger than us?
Hand in hand we clutch
Now I ask
Who is stronger than us?
Hand in hand we clutch
Now I ask
Who is stronger than us?
Arms held high
All together now
I'm dreaming of peace
A place we can live in harmony
Where we don't gotta worry about
What's harming us so
What's it going to take?
Another dropped bomb
Another mistake?
All the hate I stand back I can't relate
We just try to get by
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held...
All together now
I'm dreaming of peace
A place we can live in harmony
Where we don't gotta worry about
What's harming us so
What's it going to take?
Another dropped bomb
Another mistake?
All the hate I stand back I can't relate
We just try to get by
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held high
With our arms held...
