"Guns, Bombs, And Fortunes Of Gold" lyrics

"Guns, Bombs, And Fortunes Of Gold"

I gotta feeling that it's all going to crumble
If we don't do something
To save ourselves
I gotta feeling that the mountain might just tumble
Forever into the sea
If we don't find a way to help

Lay down your guns and your bombs
Forget the lines that we have drawn
We have some unlearning to do right now
Lay down your fortunes of gold
Forget the things that we've been told
We won't be needing them
Where we're going now
Where we're going now

In the middle of the night, we wake up beside ourselves
And wonder why we still feel miles apart
Be the change in the world that you wish to see
An eye for an eye
Leaves the whole world blind
Don't you see?

Lay down your guns and your bombs
Forget the foolish things we're been taught
We have some unlearning to do right now
Lay down your fortunes of gold
Forget the lines that we have drawn
They won't do any good for anyone
For anyone

Lay down your guns and your bombs
Forget the lines that we have drawn
We have some unlearning to do right now
Lay down your fortunes of gold
Forget the lies that we have been sold
In each of us is part of everyone
In everyone
