There's a battle raging on the streets
Fists clenched, voices raised in defeat
Everybody's got an opinion to speak
But no one wants to listen, they just want to critique
Conflicts arise, but we can't compromise
We're all just trying to survive
But when we're at each other's throats
It's hard to keep
It's hard to keep the hope alive
We're all fighting for the same thing
A little bit of happiness, a little bit of bling
But we're so divided, we can't even sing
The same song, we're just waiting for the bell to ring
Conflicts arise, but we can't compromise
We're all just trying to survive
But when we're at each other's throats
It's hard to keep
It's hard to keep the hope alive
We need to learn to understand
That we're all just grains of sand
In the grand scheme of things
We need to stop the fighting and spread our wings
(Spread our wings)
But when we're at each other's throats
(Each other's throats)
It's hard to keep
(Hard to keep)
It's hard to keep the hope
(Hard to keep) alive
Conflicts arise
(Conflicts arise)
But we can't compromise
(And everybody's trying)
We're all just trying to survive
(To survive)
But when we're at each other's throats
(Each other's throats)
It's hard to keep
(Hard to keep)
It's hard to keep the hope
(Hard to keep) alive
