It's hard to believe what we see
Time after time, the pain and the sorrow
And someday we'll say let it be
They hide their eyes and turn from the sorrow
Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away
What does it take to show that you care?
Open your eyes, for life we all share
Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away
And is it hard to think of this
As a world full of sorrow and shame
It surely will change when we open our hearts
It's so easy to help when all is said
They're born, they breed, and hurt like us
It's hard to believe what we see (time after time)
Time after time, the pain and the sorrow
And someday we'll say let it be (time after time)
They hide their eyes and turn from the sorrow
Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away
Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away
