Lyrics

Before We Learn To Love

Sometimes it’s hard to wake
Thinking of all it would take
To fix the world and make
A better home
I spend most of my nights
Restless over how I might
Change all that isn’t right
And I’m not alone

So many feel the same
So many things to blame
And all I do
Is keep wondering

How long can we just close our eyes
How many times can we deny
How many broken hearts around the world must cry
Before we learn to love

Something we all should do
Is walk in someone else’s shoes
To see just what it’s like
To just barely survive

We take for granted our things
That all our money can bring
But when we have everything
Will it be enough?

They say it won’t be long
Til the trees and birds are gone
And all I do
Is keep wondering

How long can we just close our eyes
How many times can we deny
How many broken hearts around the world must cry
Before we learn to love

Maybe I live inside a dream
Where everyone is free

I wrote this on a rainy day
The clouds wouldn’t go away
So I just sat and prayed
Of a better day

How many times must we ask why
How many innocent must die
How many broken hearts around the world must cry
Before we learn to love
How many times can we just turn away
And how many lives around the world were lost today
Oh I know we can do better if we all stand up and say
We need to learn-We’ve got to learn-C’mon let’s learn to love
