Lyrics:



Here on terra firma

The violence is spreading

The walls are collapsing

Into your back yards



Here on terra firma

The fires are raging

The riots up staging

To prove a point to none

Here on terra firma

The fear is choking

The life out of each and every one



Here on terra firma

Where TV is King

Where a black man with the same name

Had a televised beating



It's not too late

Yeah it's never too late

To heal these wounds

That are fatal to the end

To understand our sins

To make amends



See 'em down in hell

Must turn back the tide

This hatred must be stopped

Let's throw our arms out wide

And the dead are breaking in

When your world comes to an end

Will you say you did all could

And then just hang your head



Why not believe

In the good of man

Not bricks and burn

Take all that you can

To love your fellow man

With all of your heart

As you would yourself

We must try not to stand above

And hate you go to hell

Put love in your heart

God is not some TV show

Our life is not some part

Try to believe

That only good will come

If you give not to receive

That is kingdom come



Here on terra firma

The violence is spreading

Spread to your back yard



Here in firma terror

Leads to hatred and unrest

Not only can we beat it

No, that would be best
