we need a better place to live

6:31 pm A Better Place

there's lives on the side of the road
and blood pouring into the streets
there's people without homes
and nothing on the table to eat
our world is falling apart
nothing but murder and lies
there's poisons in our households
and its killing our blue skies

(chorus)if we all pitched in a little
and if we all gave in a little
then this would be a better place to live
if we all helped out a little
and if we all just cared a little
then this would be a better place to live

Gunshots slicing through silent airs
crossing through shattered borders
people giving up their lives
to follow through with orders
a mother cries for her loss
the loss of her only son
he'd still be here if we all
believed we still can love

if we all pitched in a little
and if we all gave in a little
then this would be a better place to live
if we all helped out a little
and if we all just cared a little
then this would be a better place to live

whats the point in trying to ignore,
things like this going on next door.
we all need to be more openly aware
of strifes people are forced to bear.
things arent all rainbows and sunshine
reopen the wound and heal it this time.
go back to the beginning,
before this land of sinning.

If we all pitched in a little
and if we all gave in a little
then this would be a better place to live
and if we all helped out a little
and if we all just cared a little
then this would be a better place to live
a better place to live
