Lyrics
I just gotta get away
I feel a strong need to escape from my current situation.
Can't stand it
I cannot tolerate or endure it any longer.
Children suffer every day
Children endure suffering on a daily basis.
Tell me baby
Asking someone, perhaps a lover, about the purpose or meaning of life.
What's it for
Questioning the motivation behind the ongoing struggles.
Fighting daily
Engaging in daily battles and conflicts.
For the turf
Fighting for control over a particular territory or domain.
We're still killing each other
People are still killing each other, often in the name of religious beliefs.
In the name of the Lord
Reference to violence justified in the name of God.
There's a brand new graffiti
New graffiti, possibly a metaphor for fresh conflicts or problems, marked with blood.
With blood on the walls
The severity and intensity of the issues at hand.
Peace, are you that far away?
Expressing a longing for peace and questioning its distant nature.
Now you can feel it
Suggesting the ability to sense or empathize with the pain of others.
Other people's pain
Love has the power to heal the pain experienced by others.
Love can heal it
Comparing love to the gentleness of rain.
Gentle as the rain
(Blank line, allowing for contemplation)
Oh, the United Nations drag their feet on the floor
Criticizing the spending of money without clear purposes by the United Nations.
All they do is spend your money
Highlighting the lack of transparency in the organization's expenditures.
They don't tell you what for
(Blank line, possibly for emphasis)
Peace, what price we have to pay
A plea for a better and more effective approach to achieving peace.
Peace, there's gotta be a better way
Belief in the possibility of positive change starting immediately.
People tell me it's useless to look for a way
Challenging the notion that seeking a solution is futile.
I believe that tomorrow starts right here, today
Optimistic belief that the pursuit of a better tomorrow begins today.
Peace, are you that far away
Repeating the longing for peace and questioning its distant nature.
Peace, there's gotta be a better way
Reiterating the plea for a better and more effective approach to peace.
Peace, are you that far away
Repeating the plea for peace and questioning its distant nature.
Peace, there's gotta be a better way
Reiterating the plea for a better and more effective approach to peace.
Peace, peace
Repeating the word "peace," possibly emphasizing its importance.
There's gotta be a better way
Emphasizing the urgent need for a better way to achieve peace.
Peace, peace oh oh oh peace
Repeating the plea for peace, expressing a strong desire for its realization.
