There is a light that is shining from a dark design And the beauty is that we can change How can we love ourselves if we don't love each other, when we both feel the same pain? An eye for an eye, a word for a word Peace on earth could be displayed Oh, there is not a God in heaven that wants to see us fighting this way Oh, He spoke more about loving than people trying to make people change When we are hungry, we are fed When we are hungry, we are fed With only one life to live, I'd rather live with you as my friend When we are hungry, we are fed When we are hungry, we are fed I'd rather live with you as my friend than someone that I was trying to condemn I'm a lover, I believe you are, too And we're fighting for a common good And if you love me, then say you do Odds and ends will end where they should
