Why can't we come closer while we fall apart These words we trip over before we even start Drop our defences, before it goes too long The absence of conflict dosen't mean that/the peace will come You can't have peace on earth until you have it here inside Everyone of us again Why can't we (just) talk about this, instead we all pretend We know we can't give what we don't already have Take your time, hurry up, (when) we all know this all should stop It's time again . . . Wake up, it's time to think again This fighting between us has gotta end Wake up, it's time to think again
