The babies are dying,
homes are soaked in tears.
Wars keep grinding,
our fighting deafens ears.
Blood keeps running, never drying—
when will it stop? Where is the peace?
Verse 2
Envy and hate have lingered in our hearts
from the very first day.
Brothers sharpening their spears,
stabbing in the back; bodies lay.
Running in shame, chased by fears—
can’t see the end of darkness, no hope for a new day.
Pre-Chorus
Wake your soul, the time has come for change.
Grab a hand and make a friend.
Love your neighbor, even if it feels strange;
tend the thirst to mend and blend.
Open your heart and listen to a sage—
let words of good never end.
Chorus
Lift your eyes to the sky,
let the stars guide your path.
A time of bliss is within our reach—so try;
feel one with all, abolish wrath.
Absorb the joy—and cry.
The darkness is fleeing; we’re no longer on a leash.
Verse 3
The good has come; all is good.
Every day it will be better.
We will all have food;
it will only get greater.
The One who made me fills my mood—
I will dance with love for my Creator.
Chorus
Lift your eyes to the sky,
let the stars guide your path.
A time of bliss is within our reach—so try;
feel one with all, abolish wrath.
Absorb the joy—and cry.
The darkness is fleeing; we’re no longer on a leash.
