Some fighting for power when love lead the multitude 
Every second every hour children calling out for food 
They want to go to school in clean clothes and pretty shoes 
Give us now because mama says promise is a comfort to a fool 
Teach them to love them one another love stop them from killing of each other 
Follow the words of your fathers and your mothers to hurt yourself  
I tell you don't you bother Hey!
