Where are we headed
What will history say
We’re walkin’ down the wrong road
This our darkest day

We’re starvin’ out the good
And causin’ so much pain
After centuries of progress
Reversin’ all our gains

When will we understand
How can we comprehend
Our foolish whims and beliefs
Don’t justify the end

So, fill the world with music
Shower it with song
Lift up your voices
Let’s all sing alone

Fill the world with hope
Shower it with love
Make endless peace
Release the snow white doves

How did we lose our way
Let the goal get out of sight
Stumble on the path
Forget what is right

Terror in our cities
Nearly every single night
Killin’s our children
Neighborhoods a blight

Why do we tolerate
Protect and defend
People who spread hate
To meet their selfish ends

So, fill the world with music
Shower it with song
Lift up your voices
Let’s all sing alone

Fill the world with hope
Shower it with love
Make endless peace
Release the snow white doves

Why do we permit
Drug pushers in our land
Sellin’ pills to our kids
Have death on their hands

An epidemic of opiates
Pandemic of despair
Lives destroyed everyday
Sorrow in the air

Communities torn apart
‘Cause of all this dope
Parents cryin’ over graves
Losin’ their last hope

So, fill the world with music
Shower it with song
Lift up your voices
Let’s all sing alone

Fill the world with hope
Shower it with love
Make endless peace
Release the snow white doves
