Why can't we come closer while we fall apart
These words we trip over before we even start
Drop our defences, before it goes too long
The absence of conflict dosen't mean that/the peace will come

You can't have peace on earth until you have it here inside
Everyone of us again

Why can't we (just) talk about this, instead we all pretend
We know we can't give what we don't already have

Take your time, hurry up, (when) we all know this all should stop
It's time again . . .

Wake up, it's time to think again
This fighting between us has gotta end
Wake up, it's time to think again
