They don't how to love
They don't know how to trust
They don't know how to care
They don't know how to bless
They don't how to love
They don't know how to trust
They don't know how to care
They don't know how to bless
So with our head held up high
We send them our prayers
Shine on them the light
When they get scared
We show them the way
So they too can pray
With our hands held together
We say namaste
What's really going on, it's a riddle
Politics, religion got us split in the middle (ay)
Out here playing us like a fiddle
Shits not sweet no more, no Skittles
Street not safe no more, issa battle
Life's not precious no more, it's so fickle
Thinkin bout war, makes me sentimental
Cause innocent people get caught in the middle
Children dying, born into conflict
Mothers crying, born into suffering
Brothers dying, born into conflict
Fathers crying, born into suffering
No matter religion, yo blood's still red
No matter your color, yo blood's still red
Rich or poor, yo blood's still red
Nothing really matters when its blood that's shed
So with our head held up high
We send them our prayers
Shine on them the light
When they get scared
We show them the way
So they too can pray
With our hands held together
We say namaste
Every other day, the world at war
Not enough food to feed the poor
No giving hands, and no open doors
Everybody for himself, what are we fighting for
What's the future for an unborn child?
Cost of living steady in the sky
Yeah we living but we don't know why
You call it life, but all we do is survive
Switch on the news
Has got me confused
Cause all people do
Is violence, abuse
What can we do
To clean up the bruise
To make people choose
To live in the truth
If I had one wish, there'd be no more crime
If I had one wish, no woman, no cry
If I had one wish, no children would die
So me say a little prayer tonight
And we wonder what we're really fighting for
And we wonder what we're really fighting for
And we wonder what we're really fighting for
And we wonder what we're really fighting for
So with our head held up high
We send them our prayers
Shine on them the light
When they get scared
We show them the way
So they too can pray
With our hands held together
We say namaste
