marching on

peace be made in the hearts of men
in the name of God
we've committed sins

may the words on this page
see that blood shed will end
as the wars we must fight
are the ones we feel within

all this talk of corruption
all this news of despair
another mother's weeping
as she says another prayer

her son
he is fighting
in a war that isn't theirs
now his eyes
they lie open
in a never ending stare

I'll be sending shooting stars

what right do we have
to tell a man that he can't feel
love for another man
a love we long to feel

we say it's wrong
it ain't right
because we don't understand
yet, the anger, rage and pain we cause
are very real to him

I'll be sending shooting stars

why must we be divided
in a world that we must share
ashamed of the way she looks
she carves her flesh when no ones there

her peers
they scorn her with their words
now
it's more than she can bare
with a knife
she takes her life
because she thought that no one cared

I'll be sending shooting stars

the time for revolution
is dancing in our futures
and the wisdom of our youth
is calling out for retribution

so with these words I will fight
for all the voices that have been stolen
and when their wishes have been spoken
may these stars heal all the hurting hearts
this world has broken

I'll be sending shooting stars
