I stepped out onto a mantelpiece
To get some peace
feeling like I was going to cry
looked up to the sky
raised my hands up high
in a gesture to ask why
tell me what are we fighting for
are we living just for war
we are fighting just to die
bleeding from our wounds inside
our mother’s womb
pushed out into the tomb
why do we need so much pain
to change a world that is torn by war
what about the people who died
can you tell me what did they die for
what did they live their lives for
before the bomb rained
why do we war for nothing but taking lives
I don't believe it was in God’s plan
what was Gods 5th command
this is where I'm at
this is where I stand
I do not understand what God allows to happen
why do children have to bleed uncontrollably
fighting for their lives it's not their war to fight
nor is it their time to turn in and say goodnight
why do they have to be afraid
of flashing lights in the night
a tree stood in the mist of the garden
don't get me started
an angel drew a flaming sword to gaud it
the tree gave life to the broken hearted
raised up the dearly departed
living water sprung from the well
come if you're thirsty
you don’t even need a pale
bread fell from the sky
touching the ground and saving some Israelites
the sick got up out of bed
the lame chose to walk
the blind see's and the deaf do talk
the merchants got angry
the doctors wanted blood
took what was free
gave us poverty
trying to make ends meet
what happen to the bread that was free
why are we so hungry
this whole world is out of order
bring back that living water
that flows endlessly
like wedding wine
just too hard to swallow
the plot thickens
