I've got words to convince, words to confuse
Words to control, words to seduce
Words are my weapon, words of the truth
Words of conviction make the whole world move
I've got words that I lend, and words that I borrow
Words full of joy, words full of sorrow
Words for today, words for tomorrow
Words for my country, words for the world
We gotta stop
Drop and roll
We gotta stop
Just to save our souls
I've seen people wearing smiles instead of clothes
I've seen people going wherever the wind blows
I've seen people call wherever they are their home
We're on our own, but we're not alone
Be grateful for the fresh air that you breathe, and
Be grateful for the water that we all need, and
Be grateful for the ground beneath your feet
I say thank you
Yes I'm grateful for the words that you say, and
I'm grateful for the music that you make, and
I'm grateful for today, tomorrow, and yesterday
I'm grateful for The Way
Killing the weeds just to save the flowers
But the poison seeps down and turns our water sour
Dropping bombs just to save our brothers
But we also take the lives of children and their mothers
It's all the same
When the sun goes down, you know the stars'll shine
When the times get rough, we'll just keep on trying
When you feel the rhythm, everything'll rhyme
When you feel the love, the power is your mind
We gotta stop
