- The super powers play a dangerous game
the East against the West
Is it too much to ask after all these wars
to give the world a rest
Missiles and guns don’t bring us peace
Somebody’s lying to us
Have you ever seen a dollar bill
that said “In Bombs We Trust”?
Chorus: We are life and we come from tomorrow
We won’t stand around while the world burns down
We’ve already seen enough sorrow
We are life and we just want to know when
When can the killing end, and the living begin?
- We’ll send a mighty message
and life will be our song
We’ll join our voices together
’till we’re a hundred million strong
Somebody has to offer peace Somebody has to start
Silence the beat of the drums of warand follow the beat of the heart
Last Chorus: We are life and we come from tomorrow
We won’t stand around while they burn our world down
We’ve already seen enough sorrow
We are life and we have a message to send
When the killing ends, the living can begin
In the days to come the Truth it will be known
The world is round we don’t live alone
And every missile we send, will come back on the wind
It’s better to love the Earth, it must not end
