Sometimes I can't help cryin' People when I hear about the dying Young men, women, children For the violence they've chosen We got to stop, yes, people we, We go to stop, my god yes Sisters and brothers, do you hear me? We got to stop killing one another Sometimes I can't help thinking When I've been sittin' and drinkin' While the powers of the world Are struggling The children of the world are starving Well, the prayers of peace are rising The sons of war are dying People, we got to stop Yes we, we go to stop, my god yes Sisters and brothers, do you hear me? We got to stop killing one another Sometimes I can't help wondering What in the world is happening? While the white man's power is ruling Black man's power is threatening Well the great man's power is sleeping Yellow man's power is Growing and growing People, we got to stop Yes we, we go to stop, my god yes, Sisters and brothers, do you hear me? We got to stop killing one another Learn to take care of each other Learn to try to love one another People, don't you think it's time?
