lyrics

Isn’t it strange, building a wall for our freedom?
Isn’t it strange, to only care for our own?

Isn’t it strange
That we keep on fighting?
Do bullets really save lives?

Isn’t it strange
That we keep ignoring
The cries of the ones who survived?

Can’t we agree
To live and love in harmony?
‘Cause if I’m not wrong
We are sharing this world til we’re gone
So, why don’t we give it a try?

Isn’t it strange
How love is illegal
While having a gun is alright?

Isn’t it strange
How we are destroying
Our borrowed home for humankind?

Can’t we agree
To live and love in harmony?
‘Cause if I’m not wrong
We are sharing this world til we’re gone
So, why don’t we give it a try?

Isn’t it strange
That we keep on pointing
To everyone but ourselves?

Isn’t it time then,
To gather our forces
Why don’t we give it a try?
