It's in the paper every day
You see it in the headlines, and you feel so sick, yeah
As another life leaves this world (this world)
So full of hate (but short)
Short on compassion
Short on humanity
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock
"Do we even have a chance?"
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna kill, I don't wanna die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna kill, I don't wanna die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
This is a plea for peace (world peace)
To the oppressors of the world (and to)
To the leaders of nations (corporate profit takers)
To the every day citizen
Greed, envy, fear, hate
The competition has to stop
When you see someone down (now's the time to pick them up)
Set our differences aside (and never look back, no)
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna kill, I don't wanna die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna kill, I don't wanna die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (Hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (Hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (Hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the hatred? (Hey, hey)
Violence (hey, hey)
Fighting (hey)
Killing (hey)
Dying, ahh (hey)
So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow
I still have a dream
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!
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna kill, I don't wanna die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna kill
I don't wanna kill, I don't wanna die
We are all human
It's time to prove it
We are all human
It's time to prove it
We are all human
