Lyrics
He lays down his gun But the battle's not won And he wonders just what he has died for Trained to kill or be killed As the war rages still Just how many lives must we cry for? Now he's telling me He fought for what he believes But tell me whose god embraces murder? And If we can't even heed All the gods we conceive Then how can we accept each others'? But are we really that different, you and I? Don't we breathe the same air, underneath the same sky? And is this our fate? Are we all born to hate each other? Can't you see we're killing our brothers? Now he closes his eyes Free from all of the lies That created the world he is leaving But has he been saved From the fear and the pain Now that he's paid the price for believing? And how can we claim that we're killing for peace? And how can we say it's alright? We can't keep on killing for our own beliefs Are we right just because we've survived? And will there be peace after everyone's died? Are we really that different, you and I? Don't we breathe the same air, underneath the same sky? This can't be our fate ‘Cause we're not born to hate each other We can't keep killing our brothers
