Dear World Leaders
Teach us from your point of view
Tell us all about how
You strive to make things new

We know you want what's best
For your people in your place
How is that any different
Than the rest of the human race?

We're not so different
We're not so uncivilized
Do you think there was a chance
That someone told us lies?

This one is for my brother's
On the opposite side of the line
But one human to another
Could we all put down our signs?

This one is for my sister's
Who are forced to hide their face
Giving their children away to soldiers
Taking them to an unfamiliar place

I never wanted this to happen
What have we become?
Where do we go from here
Have we all grown numb?

Put down your guns
Difuse your bombs
We're all daughters and sons
To the world we all belong
