Standard (EADGBE)

Verses

(intro, outro and first verse just play F# and G# notes on low E string without full chord)

People get ready

There's somethin' in the air

Creepin' in slow so we don't even notice

Brothers and sisters beware

People get ready

Open your eyes

Hatred and violence, millions fall silent

We don't even hear their cries

Chorus

 It's time to love one another

We're sisters and brothers

What are we fighting for?

 Too many bags that are breakin'

Lives bein' taken

What are we killing for?

 I think it's time for forgiveness

To rise up and end this

What are waitin' for?

 Love teach us the way

 To overcome hate and weapons of war

People get ready

What's your loaded gun?

Silent indifference, hunger for vengence

Are words from a wicked tounge

People get ready

Only you can choose

What you will do when it comes down to you

No one else can walk in your shoes

(Chorus)

Oh my lord (4x)

Oh my lord (i have a dream)

Oh my lord (one day we'll see)

Oh my lord (all men be free)

Oh my lord (i still believe)

People just love one another

We're sisters and brothers

What are we fighting for?

Too many bags that are breakin'

Lives bein' taken

What are we killing for?

I think it's time for forgiveness

To rise up and end this

What are waitin' for?

Love teach us the way

To overcome hate and weapons of war
