One Thing In Common
One thing in common
There are different factions
In every nation
Fighting wars to get a reaction
Only bringing us pain and dissatisfaction
No one cares about the children
Who they claim to be fighting for
And nobody wants to talk about it
So peace can thru the door
And the only thing they have in common
Some of them like the same songs
So I got an idea to try to stop the fighting
If I can get them all to do sing along
In the name of the john~ let’s give peace a chance
In the name of George ~ we can work it out
In the name Paul ~ let's live together in harmony
In the name of ring ~ put down the guns lets twist and shout
So many different religions
But there’s only one god
And each wants the other
To die by the sword
And all claim to be working for the lord
But how can you go to heaven
God can pick out the false prophets
And all the blasphemes hadean
How many children must die?
For they to begin to care
How many mothers must cry?
In pain and despair
But if they really love the children
Then I come up with a plan
To break down in sections
So they all can understand
In the name of Jesus ~ let the children go
In the name of Muhammad ~ set the children free
In the name of Rama ~ let the children grow
In the name of Krishna ~ let the children be
Let’s see what happens
Only the future can tell
Bet many who say they work for god
Surely will end up in hell
It’s funny how man can go to the moon
In ships of metal fuel,and glass
And right here on earth
They can make peace last
