Can you see the shadows falling, on the children in the streets?
Do the sirens in the night, offer comfort or retreat?
Is it freedom when you're told, what to think, what to believe?
And is justice served when silence, is the only plea we weave?
We build our walls of concrete, and we watch the world divide
With every human life lost, another part of us dies
Where is the peace we promised? Where is the love we preach?
Is it lost in empty words, buried in the broken speech?
Is this the cost of progress, the price of our desire?
Will we turn a blind eye, and let the flames rise higher?
Do the leaders in their castles, hear the whispers of the poor?
Do they see the growing darkness, that's knocking at the door?
Do the laws protect the innocent, or only serve the strong?
Are we living in a system, where right and wrong are gone?
We build our walls of concrete, and we watch the world divide
With every human life lost, another part of us dies
Where is the peace we promised? Where is the love we preach?
Is it lost in empty words, buried in the broken speech?
Is this the cost of progress, the price of our desire?
Will we turn a blind eye, and let the flames rise higher?
Can you hear the cries of anguish, Shouting in the night?
Do the screams of the oppressed, fade away from sight?
Is it mercy when compassion, is replaced with cold despair?
And is hope a fleeting whisper, lost in the polluted air?
We build our walls of concrete, and we watch the world divide
With every human life lost, another part of us dies
Where is the peace we promised? Where is the love we preach?
Is it lost in empty words, buried in the broken speech?
Is this the cost of progress, the price of our desire?
Will we turn a blind eye, and let the flames rise higher?
Do the guns that fire aimlessly, bring solace or despair?
Do the bombs that fall so carelessly, erase the very air?
Is it victory when the fallen, are buried in the dirt?
Is forgiveness even possible, when all you feel is hurt?
We build our walls of concrete, and we watch the world divide
With every human life lost, another part of us dies
Where is the peace we promised? Where is the love we preach?
Is it lost in empty words, buried in the broken speech?
Is this the cost of progress, the price of our desire?
Will we turn a blind eye, and let the flames rise higher?

Can you see the shadows falling, on the children in the streets?
Do the sirens in the night, offer comfort or retreat?
Is it freedom when you're told, what to think, what to believe?
And is justice served when silence, is the only plea we weave?
We build our walls of concrete, and we watch the world divide
With every human life lost, another part of us dies
Where is the peace we promised? Where is the love we preach?
Is it lost in empty words, buried in the broken speech?
Is this the cost of progress, the price of our desire?
Will we turn a blind eye, and let the flames rise higher?
