We’ve lived our lives, our golden days
We’ve overcome our wayward ways
We’ve learned to plan for peace at hand
Ere we shall seek the promised land.
We’ve watched while men do values slay
Crushing all who stand in their way
Destroying things not understood
No tolerance for kind or good !
Those qualities which they exude
Empower the false, the harsh, the crude
How much longer must we all wait
To catch one glimpse of Heaven’s Gate ?
