Wish for Heaven

Look beyond your pain
You'll see that we're the same
Who's right, who's to blame
Funny thing, this costly game

Between the river and the sea
Some lines were drawn
Mother earth, cut apart
Into pieces of land to own

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Racing to go from us to me
I came at you, and you came at me
For the want of just one olive branch
We cut down the whole damn tree

Deafened by self-righteous screams
No body listened, huh! No one did
In shouts of love for me and mine
Hate blossomed, yes it did

How many lives will you take
To show that you're the hurt one
How many lives will you take
To finally call us even
Blinded by an eye for an eye
Rushing to cast the first stone
You can't make earth a living hell
And in death wish for heaven
Wish for heaven

Where thumb warriors and the talking heads
Secure us in our bubbles
At least we know who to hate
And who to blame for our troubles
Where truth needs a thousand proofs
And a lie just has to be said
For each voice in the town square
Oh! The price that we paid

How many lives will you take
To show that you're the hurt one
How many lives will you take
To finally call us even
Blinded by an eye for an eye
Rushing to cast the first stone
You can't make earth a living hell
And in death wish for heaven
Wish for heaven
Wish for heaven
Wish for heaven
