Why am I writing? Why are you crying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?
Why are we fighting? Why are we dying?
Why is there so much hate?

I’ve got this bad feeling, I can’t get this out of my head now
I’ve seen this all before and I know the way it ends
I’ve got so much left to say, but it’s all lost in translation
Look at me one last time, this life is so uncertain

Why am I writing? Why are you crying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?
Why are we fighting? Why are we dying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?

This hidden culprit is laughing behind all of our fears, yeah
Your black skin, your brown, your white, we all bleed red now
I’ve got this hate inside me. You’ve given birth to our children
We pass it on to them and this nightmare never ends

Why am I writing? Why are you crying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?
Why are we fighting? Why are we dying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?

We live our lives in fear, still hoping that things will change
Your sights trained on me, but my life is not for the taking

Why am I writing? Why are you crying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?
Why are we fighting? Why are we dying?
Why is there so much hate in this world?
