Maro - One World (feat. Zaid Tabani) Lyrics

One world, one life
Why do we fight?
Oh Why the crime, the hate, the sadness?
Oh Why do we create this madness?
Tell me why, oh why?

One world, one dream
Together we should stand
Together we should love
'Cause we're the same, we're all the same
So why don't we remember this?

I'm not a machine gun
Not a machete in your arms
Swinging out at the dark set to war drums
I ain't holding a detonator next to a burning flag trying to start something
I'm from here, so how are you going to tell me to go back to where I came from
Like we ain't living under the same sun
I watch news stations remind me here that I can't breathe
I see riots burn up the streets and I can't leave
I look at blood splatter on concrete but I can't grieve
'Cause they just wanna know who to blame next in the stampede while they can't see
And God if I preach more
They act like I'm the reason they believe that we need force
Like every infamous criminal outta front door
Has my face, bone structure and song form
And I'm tired; I'm tired of being called outta touch
'Cause people lie for a vote when a quote is required
Tired of having to choose between 2 power junkies to run the country
And lie to everybody and act like they're so admired
I'm tired of being told I have to hate you if you're from a red state or you vote blue
Or your opinion on a single Supreme Court Case
Between a rock and a hard place
I'm between Iraq and a hard place, between your type and the wrong race
I feel like I was born with the wrong face

One world, one goal
We can be the change
No matter how hard, we'll make it work
It's up to us and only us
To make this world a better home
