It's in the paper everyday

you see it in the headlines and you feel so sick ya

as another life leaves this world

this world so full of hate

but short, short on compassion

short on humanity

asking myself in vein

shaken by the shock "do we even have a chance?"



chorus:

I dont wannna die

i dont wanna kill

i dont wanna kill

i dont wanna die

we are all human

lets start to prove it



This is a plea for peace

world peace!

to the oppressors of the world

and to the leaders of nations

corperate profit takers

to the everyday citizens

greed,

envy,

fear,

hate,

the competition has to stop

when you see someone down

nows the time to pick them up!

Set our differeces aside and never look back no!



chorus:

I dont wannna die

i dont wanna kill

i dont wanna kill

i dont wanna die

we are all human

lets start to prove it



Isnt everybody tierd of the fighting?

Isnt everybody tierd of the killing?

Isnt everybody tierd of the dying?

Isnt everybody tierd of the hatred?

VIOLENCE!

FIGHTING!

KILLING!

DYING!

AHHHHHHH!



" So even though

we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,

I still have a dream of when we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,

black men and white men,

Jews and gentiles,

Protestants and Catholics,

will be able to join hands

'Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!' "



chorus:

I dont wannna die

i dont wanna kill

i dont wanna kill

i dont wanna die

we are all human

lets start to prove it
