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
