How long will it take?
How many years will we try?
How long will we suffer?
Before the river runs dry?
Will our dreams fade away
As time rolls on
What's happening to us?
What's right from wrong?
Do something?
Or nothing?
Keep running away?
But hate falls
When peace calls
Oh love is the way
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm so tired of crying alone
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm so tired of crying alone
How long can we continue
To bang the drums of war?
Question freedom
And forget what it all stands for
How many chances
Do we get in this life?
Can we learn to forgive
And leave the past behind
Do something?
Or nothing?
Keep running away?
But hate falls
When peace calls
Oh love is the way
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm so tired of crying alone
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm so tired of crying alone
I've been
Wishing
Hoping
Praying
Dreaming
Loving
Touching
Healing
Believing
We got to stop the violence
Got to save our children
Got to end the dying
Got to stand for something
Do you hear the birds singing?
Do you hear the love ringing?
Can you see the sun shinning?
Can you hear the people crying?
Can't stop these tears from falling?
I've been crying alone
