Love was taken from a young life
And no one told her why
Her direction had a dim light
From one more violent crime
She innocently questioned why
Why her father had to die
She asked the men in blue
"How is it that you get to choose
Who will live and who will die
Did God say that you could decide?
You saw he didn't run
And that my daddy had no gun"
In the middle of a village
Within a distant land
Lies a poor boy with his broken toy
Too young to understand
He's awaken, ground is shaking
His father grabs his hand
Screaming crying, his wife's dying
Now he's left to explain
He innocently questioned why
Why his mother had to die
"Why did these soldiers come here for?
If they're for peace why is there war?
Did God say that they could decide
Who will live and who will die?
All my mama ever did
Was try to take care of her kids."
We're innocently standing by
Watching people losing lives
It seems as if we have no voice
It's time for us to make a choice
Only God could decide
Who will live and who will die
There's nothing that can't be done
If we raise our voice as one
They gotta hear it from me
They gotta hear it from you
They gotta hear it from us
We can't take it
We've already had enough

wow that's quite a powerful song or poem?
its michael jacksons most recent song, "we've had enough"
haha.
Is this in reference to the middle east crisis? I've been quite curious about your position on the matter..
dorinny, i dont want to take sides. i have close friends from both sides of the spectrum and theres anger and upset from both and i dont know enough about it to take one... but i do think its really sad that so many innocent people are dying on both sides, regardless of who is responsible.
and me posting the song wasnt really much to do with it lol, i was just listening to it the other day and thought... "Aw i love michael." so posted.
xox
