We got brother against brother
We got sister against sister
We got a child with no mother
We got bombs raining down mister
We got buildings in rubble
We got religion in trouble
We got a lifetime of hate
Served up on a plate
We got history behind us
We got the future ahead of us
We got to pause for a while
We got to turn back the tide
Cease Firing Cease firing Cease firing
With a hot sun and a small breeze
And the silver birds humming on high
The smoke clouds linger above the trees
People find it hard to stay alive
The bridges are down and the houses ruined
The roads aren’t safe anymore
Bombs falling to the beat of a drum
It seems like we had this all before
Cease Firing Cease firing Cease firing
It’s crazy that for some to survive
Some must live and some must die
So many lives are sacrificed
And we never stop to wonder why
Want to wipe them off the face of the earth
Want to turn their towns into dirt
Want to push them back into the sea
Want to bring the world to its knees
Cease Firing Cease firing Cease firing
If we only had a statesman
Someone to talk to both sides
Blessed are the peacemakers
With God on their side
‘Cause in the end we all got to talk
Or else we’re all going to walk
Down into the valley of darkness
With the light fading fast behind us
Cease Firing Cease firing Cease firing
We got sister against sister
We got a child with no mother
We got bombs raining down mister
We got buildings in rubble
We got religion in trouble
We got a lifetime of hate
Served up on a plate
We got history behind us
We got the future ahead of us
We got to pause for a while
We got to turn back the tide
Cease Firing Cease firing Cease firing
With a hot sun and a small breeze
And the silver birds humming on high
The smoke clouds linger above the trees
People find it hard to stay alive

It seems like we had this all before

Cease Firing Cease firing Cease firing
