Paris we love you
bearing flowers and fruit
but lets not forget about beirut
syrians line the seine
that's filled with blood
and forced to beg on the streets
for bread again
but ah
we love our kind
these deaths
are all wrong
from baghdad to sinai
can things change can we stop the fight
Our drone war's unfolding
spilling blood on all soil
refugees search for
a place to call home
would our world change
if these deaths weren't
nothing new
east west middle
in our earth cut in two
but ah
we love our kind
these deaths are all wrong
from paris to palestine
can this world change
can we stop the fight
stop the fight
