Crumbs of hate spread all around
Trying to clean up what is on the ground

*

Spilling blood as we ask to be forgiven
Cheating other people to make a living
Asking for peace, as we wage war
Can't tell lies from truth, that's for sure

*

Trying to rebuild what we have broken
Missing pieces gathered as a friendly token
Blood stains left outside our door
Can't stand the senseless fighting anymore

*

If peace is what we really need
Pack away your selfishness and the greed
Favors sought with bags of gold
Tongues of evil intent speaking bold

*

Politicians that don't do right
Should come up missing in the night
Take them to a country far away
Tell them that is where they have to stay

*

If you find crumbs of hate on the ground
Pick them up, but don't let them bring you down
