Stop This Madness

Another year goes by

Times are changing, pain subsides

They talk of days of old

We'll never be the same

But we are living in circles

Repeating what we know

Only war and destruction

Seems to steal the show

Stop this madness!

Stop this sadness!

Stop this madness!

Somewhere at the edge

Somewhere there's a dream alive

Defy the life we have

And never will the children cry

Now we must be strong

To reach the point that we belong

Drowning in wasted tears

Will never compensate for wasted years

So many songs have been sung

We long for freedom often won

And marched with heads held high

Then asked the question "Why?"

Is there really a reason?

Are there ways to break this mold?

We're getting louder and louder

But the volume is controlled

Stop this madness!

Stop this sadness!

Stop this madness!

Somewhere at the edge

Somewhere there's a dream alive

Defy the life we have

And never will the children cry

Now we must be strong

To reach the point that we belong

Drowning in wasted tears

Will never compensate for wasted years

Stop this madness!

Stop this sadness!

Somewhere at the edge

Somewhere there's a dream alive

Defy the life we have

And never will the children cry

Now we must be strong

To reach the point that we belong

Drowning in wasted tears

Will never compensate for wasted years

Somewhere at the edge

Somewhere there's a dream alive

Defy the life we have

And never will the children cry

Now we must be strong

To reach the point that we belong

Drowning in wasted tears

Will never compensate for wasted years

Stop this madness!
