Being at War with Each Other
Harmony Unveiled: Barbra Streisand's Call to End Conflict
Lyrics
Everyone comes from
Reflection on the common origin of humanity, emphasizing a shared ancestry.
One father one mother
Highlighting the unity of having one father and one mother as a universal human experience.
So why do we complicate
Questioning the reasons for complicating life despite this shared origin.
Our lives so much
Expressing confusion about the unnecessary complexity introduced into life.
By being at war with each other
Conveying disapproval of the destructive nature of conflicts and wars between people.
Mm, maybe I'm crazy
Expressing a sense of disbelief or astonishment at the situation.
But I don't understand it
Expressing a lack of comprehension regarding the reasons behind conflicts.
Why do we seem to vote
Questioning the tendency to create problems and difficulties instead of solutions.
To dig more holes
Metaphorically referring to voting as contributing to the creation of more problems.
It's such a waste of a planet
Labeling the destructive actions as a wasteful use of the Earth.
There must be a reason
Expressing a belief that there must be a purpose or explanation for the situation.
That I can't see
Admitting a lack of personal understanding and seeking a possible alternative perspective.
Maybe somebody else now
Suggesting that someone else may possess a clearer understanding of the situation.
Knows better than me
Openness to the idea that others may have better insights or solutions.
All I know is
Emphasizing a limited understanding and acknowledgment of shared humanity.
Everyone else is
Stressing the idea that everyone is connected as either a sister or a brother.
A sister or a brother
Reiterating the universal bond of being part of a larger human family.
So we've got to look around
Encouraging a collective effort to reassess and reconsider the current state of affairs.
Again and stop
Advocating for an end to conflicts and wars among people.
Being at war with each other
Reiterating the need to stop engaging in destructive behaviors and hostilities.
Being at war with each other
Highlighting the repetition of the plea to end conflicts and wars.
Oh
Expressing a sense of uncertainty or doubt about the situation.
Maybe I'm crazy
Reiterating the feeling of confusion or disbelief regarding conflicts.
But I don't
Emphasizing the lack of understanding about the reasons behind conflicts.
No, I don't understand it
Continuing to express confusion or lack of comprehension.
(There must be a reason)
Repeating the belief that there must be a reason for the current state of affairs.
There must be a reason
Reiteration of the idea that there must be a purpose or explanation.
(There must be a reason)
Emphasizing the need for a reason behind the complexities of life.
There must be a reason
Reiterating the call for a purpose or explanation for the conflicts.
That I can't see
Acknowledging a personal limitation in understanding the situation.
Somebody else must be
Suggesting that someone else may possess a clearer understanding.
Better than me
Openness to the idea that others may have better insights or solutions.
All I know is
Reiterating a personal acknowledgment of limited understanding.
Everyone else is
Stressing the universal connection as everyone being either a sister or brother.
A sister or brothers
Reiterating the shared humanity and familial bond among people.
So we've got to look around
Encouraging a collective effort to reassess and reconsider the current state of affairs.
Again and stop
Advocating for an end to conflicts and wars among people.
Being at war with each other
Reiterating the need to stop engaging in destructive behaviors and hostilities.
Being at war with each other
Final repetition of the plea to end conflicts and wars.
