Written in 2008

lyrics

Yesterday was a time for solitude and change,
but today I'm still contemplating
what is to be done?
Cuz just when I thought things were getting better,
I turn on the morning news for the weather
And what I get is war.
Crying is not the solution to fighting.
Get angry for maybe that's lacking.
But tell me
Is your God any different from mine?
Is your child one to hate lullabies
But we treat like a grown man and the only time for sleep is to die?
Can you look him straight in the eye?
Put your weapon down and say "Hi.
Do you have a family you miss, too?"
Hug him til he cries
Oh why are we different
Oh, what makes us so different.
People yelling for peace and freedom in the streets
Politicians send out their wild beasts
Holding them off with their guns
Daddy's got a duty to leave the country
for better money, cross the borders
to take orders from someone
of a different tongue.
Stupid they feel when the truth is revealed
of freedom
Must I change who I am for acceptance?
But can you tell me
Is your God any different from mine?
Is your child one to hate lullabies
But we treat like a grown man and the only time for sleep is to die?
Can you look him straight in the eye?
Put your weapon down and say "Hi.
Do you have a family you miss, too?"
Hug him til he cries
Oh, why are we different?
Oh, what makes us so different?
