lyrics

holy battles wars outdone, crimes against humanity
all of the brutality its all unjust, yeah… all unjust.
all the reasons we say fight for peace,
always contradicting it, whats peace, its all unjust
so if you look at all the history, in all its misery,
now which god will we trust now i say

what if we could turn these cards around,
would man be rising up and not rising down
what if we could place new cards on the table,
i say we're able, to turn these cards around
lets turn them upside down
upside down

the homeless people wonder round,
their buildings all torn down, for what for peace
its all unjust id say
for my brothers and my sisters now,
we must welcome them with freedom and feel not
the likes of fear just grace in place
i see , i see, i see, i see…
i see a new day shining oh so beautiful
the sunlight shining peeping shining through
grey clouds always come around but then they'll move on
so with the wind we must relate,
to blow away all of the hate
then we'll reep the benefits from
all the love we'd be rising up on now now now…

what if we could turn these cards around
would man be rising up and not rising down
what if we could place new cards on the table,
i say were able to turn these hearts around,
lets turn them upside down.

what if we could turn these cards around
would man be risen up and not wearin frowns
no more children crying behind those bars of iron freedom dying now
lets turn these things around, i say were able,
to turn these lives around
i say were able, to turn these hearts around,
lets turn them upside down
