Don't you just hate it
Every time there's division?
So much separation
Like when is "enough" enough?
Ooh, anybody notice (Notice), notice (Notice), notice (Notice), notice?
Love should be the focus, focus
Why so complicated? (Ooh, no)
'Cause we all bleed the same blood, oh (We all bleed the same blood, we all bleed the)
Don't you try to justify the scars you left on my heart
Sun was in the sky, you claimed it was dark
Don't you just hate it?
Our streets are painted with blood, blood (Stained red)
So why are we debatin'? (Ooh)
There's a better way in (Ooh)
We can just take it, don't get impatient
It's just a conversation
Right here at the table
Swear to God we're able to do better, better than this
Yeah, better than this, oh
Eliminate in hatred (Hatred)
'Cause we all bleed the same blood
Don't you try to justify the scars you left on my heart
Sun was in the sky, you claimed it was dark
Don't you just hate it?
Streets are painted with blood, blood
I hear you asking, "Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here?" (Where do we go, go?)
"Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here?"
Love leads the way (Yeah)
Love will always lead the way (I need to know where do we go?)
You're still asking, "Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here?" (Where do we go from here?)
Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here?
Let love lead the way
Love will always lead the way (Love will always lead the way)
Oh
Where do we go from here?
