Here on terra firma The violence is spreading The walls are collapsing Into your back yards Here on terra firma The fires are raging The riots up staging To prove a point to none Here on terra firma The fear is choking The life out of each and every one Here on terra firma Where TV is King Where a black man with the same name Had a televised beating It's not too late Yeah it's never too late To heal these wounds That are fatal to the end To understand our sins To make amends See 'em down in hell Must turn back the tide This hatred must be stopped Let's throw our arms out wide And the dead are breaking in When your world comes to an end Will you say you did all could And then just hang your head Why not believe In the good of man Not bricks and burn Take all that you can To love your fellow man With all of your heart As you would yourself We must try not to stand above And hate you go to hell Put love in your heart God is not some TV show Our life is not some part Try to believe That only good will come If you give not to receive That is kingdom come Here on terra firma The violence is spreading Spread to your back yard Here in firma terror Leads to hatred and unrest Not only can we beat it No, that would be best
