In these times that we're living in we are hopeless until we beginnTo realize that we're deeply tangled in the lies keep our lives stranglednThey would have us believe the nation is for justice, is for transformationnWhen the truth is blood-stained gold is power, these false prophets steal the lives that are oursnnChorus:nAnd the war outside is a mirror of what's withinnEvery word that breaks a heart, all the loveless patterns we live innRepeatnOh the war withinnThe War within becomes the war outsidennIt's our duty as human beings to enlighten what we think we're seeingnCause in all of us are the roots of the fighting, you and I are doing the writingnOf this tragedy: our world's destruction, World War III, at its introductionnIndividual negativity becomes collective, manifests what we see.nnChorus
