I see the walls of the church Stained with cries Hymns are drowned By the tears in their eyes Where's the mercy? Where's the grace? Even holy ground Feels out of place Behind the bars In the cold, dark night The bruises speak Where there's no right Chains of violence Fear runs deep No peace for the souls Who try to sleep What is going on? Why has love turned To scars so strong? Brutality reigns Where hope should stay The light of compassion fades away What is going on? When did we let The world go wrong? The streets are raging Hearts are stone How did we end up alone? On the streets Where children play Shadows of anger lead the way Fists collide The wounds run deep A world in chaos Dreams can't keep Public places Hate takes the stage Words like knives We're trapped in rage No more kindness No soft embrace Just broken hearts In a hardened space **Chorus** What is going on? Why has love turned To scars so strong? Brutality reigns Where hope should stay The light of compassion fades away What is going on? When did we let The world go wrong? The streets are raging Hearts are stone How did we end up alone? **Bridge** This isn't the world We dreamed to make Where love was real And not just fake Can we rise above this storm? Bring back the warmth To hearts worn? There's a fire still burning low A spark of hope that needs to grow If we listen, if we try We can bring love back to life What is going on? Why has love turned To scars so strong? Brutality reigns Where hope should stay The light of compassion fades away What is going on? When did we let The world go wrong? The streets are raging Hearts are stone How did we end up alone? But it's not too late To make things right To push the darkness Back with light Together Let's end this pain And bring the love back again What is going on? Let's find the strength To carry on
