God's Children - Urban Clearway Lyrics

 

I remember when I was a little girl
Thrown head first into this crazy world
Safe was all I'd wanna feel
Only our pain makes this life seem real?
 
Teachers trying to explain war
I'm sat trying to figure out what it's for
Cause they don't even know or care
Why so many people fight & die out there
 
I was petrified when I learned of death
Wondering how long I might have left
Does anybody know what life means?
Are the answers to these questions in my dreams of..
 
               (Chorus:)
               All of God's children
               Loving Each Other
               Living Together
               Spirits running free forever
 
Thought when I grew up I might have a choice
Start speaking out, have my own voice
It's funny how it really goes
Contained by a system which nobody knows
 
No-one ever wants to be the same
Everybody wants to make a change
They never really think it through
They're all just doing what the others do
 
So I guess it comes down to this
There's only so long one life can exist
What can I leave for you when I'm gone
Only my ideas of what went wrong 
 
               (Bridge:)
               Belief systems shattered
               Our minds are scattered
               When we come together
               There'll be better weather
 
               (Chorus) x2
               (Guitar solo outro)
