Everybody's got a right to freedom Everybody's got a right to fight Everybody's got a right to live Everybody's got a right to survive A total stranger, a life in danger No one knows where they fit in, where they belong A world in chaos, so many lives lost Take a look around, where did it all go wrong? So many years, so many chances To make a change, to get it right Too many egos, getting in the way So many reasons to stand and fight How many lives does it take For the world to take a stand? The wheels keeps turning And the world keeps burning The time for change is at hand Everybody's got a right to freedom Everybody's got a right to fight Everybody's got a right to live Everybody's got a right to survive Turn on the TV, pick up the paper A generation torn apart before our eyes Such desperation, and no salvation No one left to help or even hear their cries History repeats itself So why do we never learn So do we just keep falling down To the point of no return How many lives does it take For the world to take a stand? The wheels keeps turning And the world keeps burning The time for change is at hand Everybody's got a right to freedom Everybody's got a right to fight Everybody's got a right to live Everybody's got a right to survive So take a look at, the world around us A diplomatic tragedy we can't deny A simple question, no one can answer When all we seem to care about is who, not why So many hearts filled, with so much sorrow With minds too strong to just break down and cry So little hope left for any others Just another reason to stand and fight How many lives does it take For the world to take a stand? The wheels keeps turning And the world keeps burning The time for change is at hand Everybody's got a right to freedom Everybody's got a right to fight Everybody's got a right to live Everybody's got a right to survive (x4)
