Lyrics

This insanity is out of hand
Let children thrive in their motherland
Let love overgrow
May you know a feeling you cannot restrain
Empathy like summer rain
Overflows and becomes the sea
To share in love is a wise ideal
It beats isolation on the potter’s wheel, oh yeah
No one here will sell you why you should
Mute your soul and wait to die, oh no

Now is the time to be real

Who among us is so wise
As to decide who lives, who dies
Who’ll do as they’re told
Who’s bought and who’s sold
The bitter taste that’s in your mouth
Chew it up and spit it out
Be true to your soul
Let love take control.
(Do you enjoy it? It’s Hard to tell)

What lies between hope and despair
An empty hand, an electric chair oh yeah
Who cares about the grind, the devil’s deal
It’s a war on us, what we think and feel oh yeah
If I blow a kiss to you and you’re unaware
May love find you everywhere you go oh yeah
Don’t you know love is what we all deserve
Born within a warm heart, a warm heart

Now is the time to be real

If you’re feeling powerless, undermined, in distress
Share the load, you’re not alone
The bitter taste that fills your mouth
Chew it up and spit it out
Love takes control, be true to your soul
It’s a fantasy, I attest
To believe in war, it’s a busy mess
Loss of life, heartlessness
Fear and death and pestilence
War is not just business, not just business
Be true to your soul, let love take control
