Shihad - The Great Divide lyrics

rate me

We’ve forgotten how to dream

We used to think we’d make the world a little better

But there were promises to keep

And we sat and watched as things just fell apart

Thought we’d already won

So we turned the other way

Now who’s holding the gun?

We walk along and draw a line to holler at the other side

We’ll show the world who’s king

Before the young can use their minds,

We send them off for suicide

With something good to sing

Now

These words are for the weak

For the hungry one’s compassion and protection

For those that no one sees

The broken people, man without a voice

Thought we’d already won

So we turned the other way

Now who’s holding the gun?

We walk along and draw a line to holler at the other side

We’ll show the world who’s king

Before the young can use their minds,

We send them off for suicide

With something good to sing

Now

Space between the have and have-nots

Faceless men have taken the lot

Instrumental

We’ve forgotten how to dream

We used to think we’d make the world a little better

But there were promises to keep

And we sat and watched as things just fell apart

Thought we’d already won

So we turned the other way

Now who’s holding the gun?

We walk along and draw a line to holler at the other side

We’ll show the world who’s king

Before the young can use their minds,

We send them off for suicide

With something good to sing

Instrumental
