The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Always be not always and if always, bow our heads in shame

Always, please be not always

And if always, bow our heads in blame

'Cause time has made promises, just promises

Faces, did you see their faces?

Did they touch you?

Have you felt such pain?

To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping

Is not life but lame?

But time has made promises, just promises

Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and

Research lies in progress to become

But what of men are flesh and blood?

We turn our backs on life

How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in

Strife, destroying life?

Always, be not always

But if always, bow our heads in shame

Always, please, be not always

'Cause if always, bow our heads in blame

'Cause time has made promises, dead promises
