[Verse 1] In the night I had a vision Millions staring back at me Hollow eyes and accusations From the place I used to be Pointing fingers, raising hands I never said a word though Blood of Cain still stains the ground Since the days of man [Chorus] Why can't we love one another? I just wanna be a lover Why can't we hold on forever? I just wanna be a lover Can we make love a missile? Shoot it through the heart of hell Can we make love a missile? Break the walls we built ourselves [Verse 2] Do their stories take your breath? Do you feel what I feel too? Do you mourn the ones we've lost? Or just pretend it's nothing new? Do you hear the mothers screaming? Buried underneath the sound Do you see the children's dreaming? While the whole world falls down [Chorus] Why can't we love one another? I just wanna be a lover Why can't we hold on forever? I just wanna be a lover Let's make love a standing army Marching straight into the fire Let's make love a standing army Marching into the mire [Bridge] Love me I don't want your war Love me I don't want your throne Love me I don't want your gore Love me I don't want to die alone [Final Chorus] Why can't we love one another? I just wanna be a lover Why can't we hold on forever? I just wanna be a lover Can we make love a missile? Or are we already gone? Can we make love a weapon? Or can we make it home? [Outro] Love me... Love me... Love me... Since the days of man... Since the days of man... Since the days of man...
