Lyrics & Music by Nick
Arandes
To
this day I can't believe
what I was seeing.
Early morning
right on my backyard.
People running everywhere
and voices screaming.
What can I do?
Let me hold your hand.
Questions asked that will
remain unanswered.
Nations under God sharing our
sadness,
with our fists pointing to
heaven
asking why?
If there is a God tell me
where are you?
Cause I'm blinded by this
darkness
that surrounds my heart and all I
can
think of is fight.
Chorus
But I know that if we pull
ourselves together.
We shall overcome the sadness
from our past.
With the love that still remain
inside us
here's what we can do.
Let's just hold each other
closer
and create a whole new world
for me and you.
When I get down on my
knees
and say a prayer.
I sometimes wonder
if someone will hear it.
Even though we feel our
anger
and despair.
We must never
let them brake our spirit.
Have we learned what are the
consequences
of believes that only put up
fences
separating you and me
from every one?
What will need to happen so
that nations
get rid of the idea of
separation
and begin to realize
that we are one?
Chorus
I can't help it
but to feel the way I do
deep down inside
God please help me
to forever wipe the tears
of my eyes.
I'm still sitting here alone
saying my prayers.
If someone listens answer me
tonight.
