has been harboring hate.
Loving one another has been no easy task
So these questions I ask.
When will there be peace?
When will hatred cease?
When will we right our wrongs
and learn to get along?
How many must lose their life?
How many must pay the price?
When will prove that we can
take a stand?
When will be free
from hatred and bigotry?
When will we conquer the demons inside our head?
When will we end the bloodshed?
When will the healing begin?
The question is when?
How many must lose their life?
How many must pay the price
before we are willing to stand
hand and hand?
When will there be no weapons
of mass destruction to fear?
When will there be no more heartaches,
No more tears
No color bars
No more wars?
When will we be able
to look one another in the face
and feel no disgrace?
When will hatred cease?
When will there be peace?
When will the healing begin?
The question is when?
