(intro, outro and first verse just play Fand G# notes on low E string without full chord)
People get ready
There's somethin' in the air
Creepin' in slow so we don't even notice
Brothers and sisters beware
People get ready
Open your eyes
Hatred and violence, millions fall silent
We don't even hear their cries
It's time to love one another
We're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many bags that are breakin'
Lives bein' taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness
To rise up and end this
What are waitin' for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate and weapons of war
People get ready
What's your loaded gun?
Silent indifference, hunger for vengence
Are words from a wicked tounge
People get ready
Only you can choose
What you will do when it comes down to you
No one else can walk in your shoes
(Chorus)
Oh my lord (4x)
Oh my lord (i have a dream)
Oh my lord (one day we'll see)
Oh my lord (all men be free)
Oh my lord (i still believe)
People just love one another
We're sisters and brothers
What are we fighting for?
Too many bags that are breakin'
Lives bein' taken
What are we killing for?
I think it's time for forgiveness
To rise up and end this
What are waitin' for?
Love teach us the way
To overcome hate and weapons of war
