We Were Made For So Much More
Is this what were made for?
To live here and go to war?
To give our lives on an insignificant tour?
No. We were made for so much more.
Its been this way from the start,
I'm not one of the troops, but to you I give my heart.
I've never had money, so on my street gun shots rang.
It was a place where you were a target, if you weren't in a gang.
I never converted into one of the thugs,
I don't believe in violence or drugs.
So were these kids made to lead and live a life of gore?
No. We were made for so much more.
The people who build bombs, have such brilliant minds.
So why are we repeating history, can't we see the signs?
In this country we still argue for people to have equal rights.
We need to get over ourselves because we don't want your fights.
Stand up with me and help me do something I already swore.
That I, that we will put an end to all of this world's war.
That we will love each other for what is at the others' core.
Because we know this world was made for so much more.
