All Over The World

Standing at ground zero the weight's too much to bear
You can feel it in your body, you can taste it in the air
But this our greatest loss can't even be compared
To the lives lost each and everyday to nothing but apathy

We cringe at just the thought of one lost innocent
These our precious moms and dads,
sons and daughters of American decent
But what of all the bloodshed for oil and power and greed
What of all the lives laid down by nothing but apathy

All over the world
All over the world
All over the world
All over the world

Standing at ground zero with eyes closed, it's hard to take a peek
It's hurts to hear forgiving words about turning the other cheek
Vengence is may sayeth man, and we will see justice done.
We will make those killers pay and keep evil on the run

Somewhere in a desert a child lies dying in her mothers embrace
Maybe from cold or from a gunshot wound,
maybe with starvation on her face
We who fight for our addictions,
we who would gladly die for our ease
We live without compassion and we spread just like a disease
All over the world.

When will we learn that to harm one kills us all
When will we realize the self righteous always fall
When will we take a chance. Listen to the still small voice inside
When will we understand we're all fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers

All over the world
All over the world
All over the world
All over the world
