Down on my knees
Begging you please
Please
It's so easy
It's so easy to divide
But how do you stay in your heart
When the world is falling apart?
Please
It's not easy
It's not easy to keep faith
When these storms rage dimming the light
Testing my resolve in the heat of the night
Please
Oh no no no no way
Oh no no no no way
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey oh
Broken bones
Shattered dreams
Silent cries
Distant screams
Broken bones
On empty streets
Falling homes
Where mothers weep
But my hope still flickers
In the dead of the night
They try to divide us
They try to keep us blind
But my hope still flickers
'Cause I'm remembering how to pray
Why did the gods abandon us?
Please help me find the way
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh no no no no way
Ooh no no yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh
I just want to, to extend this, this prayer and these
Good words and wishes for everyone involved in this
Uh, yet another cycle of, of horrific human suffering
And regardless of religion, borders, opinions, ideas
And I find it, on top of the tragedy, I find it very
Difficult to watch how, how humanity again falls into
These divisions and this need to take sides or, or be right
Be on the, on the right side of things and rather
Than just truly embrace and, and feel into this
This horrible suffering that knows no borders
A mother crying for her baby is, uh, is the ultimate pain
Obviously we feel the pain of those close to us but I
Just, I refuse even in this time to, to follow the
The impulse of hatred and revenge and, uh, separation
Yeah, in this very dark hour
Just keeping the light close
And keeping the deep empathy for humans
Rather than for nations or symbols or flags
Or all sorts of man-made divisions
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
My hope still flickers
