Jacksons - Be Not Always lyrics

rate me

Always

Be not always

And if always

Bow our heads in shame

Always

Please be not always

And if always

Bow our heads in blame

'Cause time

Has made promises

Just promises

Faces

Did you see the faces

Did they touch you

Have you felt such pain

To have nothing

To dream something

Then lose hoping

Is not life but lame

But time

Has made promises

Just promises

Mothers cry

Babies die

Helplessly in our arms

While rockets fly

And research lies

In progress to become

But what of man

Our flesh and blood

We turn our backs on life

How can we claim to stand for peace

When the race is armed strife

Destroying life

Always

Please be not always

But if always

Bow our heads in shame

Always

Please, please be not always

'Cause if always

Bow our heads in blame

'Cause time

Time

Has made promises

Death promises
