It's the same story, different day,
Clearly this problem just won't go away.
We need less fights in streets and more fights for peace
In this war against hate, but
It's the same story different day
It's just one thing after another
One more life that is lost
Just one more heart breakin' story
When will this nightmare be gone?
It's just one more brother or sister
One less daughter or son
Just one less father or mother
When will this nightmare be gone?
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Fight for the life that's been taken
And for the life that's yet to come
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Give love...
Every action you take
Every word you speak
Could change this world of hurt into one of healing.
All eyes on TV, showing bloody scenes of the damage that's been done
Can't let fear overcome, 'cause then they've won.
It's just one thing after another
One more life that is lost
Just one more heart breakin' story
When will this nightmare be gone?
It's just one more brother or sister
One less daughter or son
Just one less father or mother
When will this nightmare be gone?
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Fight for the life that's been taken
And for the life that's yet to come
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Flash forward twenty years,
No time could wipe away the tears,
Our kids - they learn to read,
Will they be ashamed of their history
-- Oh, don't make them ashamed of their history.
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
Fight for the life that's been taken
And for the life that's yet to come
Keep faith, have hope, give love.
