Why do we live in a

[Intro]
Why do we live in a world of chaos?
When there is room for all of us
East and West, North and South
We are human
And we all are searching for peace

[Verse 1]
Why do we take what is not ours?
Why do we spread fear across the world?
This Earth belongs to all of us
Its riches were created for life

Why does the strong consume the weak?
Why should anyone be denied their right?
If there is enough for everyone
Why choose war instead of peace?

[Pre-Chorus]
Open your minds
Look around you
Life is short
What will we leave behind?

Will we leave ashes?
Or will we leave a dream?
Will we leave war?
Or will we leave a world that lives?

[Chorus]
Live in peace
Live in peace
East and West, North and South
We are all equal on this Earth

Stop the wars
Stop the destruction
Life is greater than hatred
And people are worth more than victory

Live in peace
Live in peace
This Earth belongs to all of us
Let us live together in peace

[Verse 2]
We don't need fire above our homes
We don't need children afraid of the sky
We don't need borders in our hearts
Or hatred between our people

The riches of the Earth can be enough
If we learn the meaning of sharing
Being rich is not owning everything
It is seeing everyone live with dignity

[Bridge]
Open your minds

Life is only days
And time will not return
Today we are here
Tomorrow we may be gone

So what will we leave behind?

Not the gold
Not the palaces
Not the power

What remains
Is what we leave
Inside people's hearts

[Final Chorus]
Live in peace
Live in peace
East and West, North and South
Raise your voices to the sky

Stop the wars
Stop the destruction
We cannot build tomorrow
On the ruins of innocent lives

Live in peace
Live in peace
We are human beings on one Earth
And we share one dream

To live in peace

[Outro]
East and West
North and South

We are here
And life is short

So live
Live in peace
