Lyrics
In a place far from heaven
In the genocide
A woman holds her children
And she's terrified
But her spirit is stronger than
Any persecution man
She needs freedom...
On a sidewalk in winter
In the greatest city
A man lies on the pavement
Tryin' to keep his dignity
While we dine by candlelight
He goes hungry every night
He needs kindness...
Now I do not believe
In what the small-minded say
That when a southern black church is burned down
God meant it that way
And I do not believe
That there's nothing I can do
That the problems in the world are insurmountable
When I know I can
Grab a hammer, lend a hand
Go and feed the homeless man
Help the lost reclaim their land
Lift my voice and take a stand
Now don't you know it's true?
I say we've all got work to do
We need justice - We need kindness...
We need freedom - We need peace...
We need love - I am love...You are love...
It's all up to you - It's all up to me
It's all up to us...
