Lyrics
BUILD IT UP
Verse 1
Countless wars fought over reasons long forgot
Whether words or missiles, it?s always hate that marks the spot
So much energy just wasted on decay
Come on people let?s not throw it all away
CHORUS:
Why can?t we build it up?
Clasp our hands in other hands, stand each other up?
Why can?t we build it up?
Join our hands together and build it up?
Verse 2
Burning buildings and blood shot eyes
Words of fire, what is truth and what?s a lie
Jealousy and fear crescendo into hate
Some souls try to make a choice while others say it?s fate
CHORUS:
Why can?t we build it up?
Clasp our hands in other hands, stand each other up?
Why can?t we build it up?
Join our hands together and build it up?
Verse 3
Long roads lead somewhere in the night
Paths too dark to know for sure what?s wrong and what is right
Why can?t we just forgive those old mistakes
While there?s still some time to start the climb and build another day
CHORUS
Why can?t we build it up?
Clasp our hands in other hands, stand each other up?
Why can?t we build it up?
Join our hands together and build it up?
CHORUS
Why can?t we build it up?
Clasp our hands in other hands, stand each other up?
Why can?t we build it up?
Join our hands together and build it up?
