Lyrics by Morley

What is the value of a human life?

All made of star stuff and water

When they took your one precious human life

They killed a whole universe

What is the value of a human life?

What will it take to stop this hurt

All born so helpless with a gift and a song

And the need for love to carry on

Oh hold you in my arms and keep you from harm if I could

Oh hold them in my arms and keep them from doing harm like I should

Bird of sorrow you got no where to go

These old windows won’t open and the ceiling’s too low

Sing fast thru the night and all day slow

Your pain’s got to have somewhere to go

Oh hold you in my arms and keep you from harm if I could

Oh hold them in my arms and keep them from doing harm like I should

They pawn their one life to sign up for ice

How will they ever teach their children love?

Don’t they see the faces of all the ones they’ve taken

When their cruel hard workday day is done?

What is the value of a human life?

What is the price of my mind?

I don’t wanna be a stranger to my own tears

Don’t want be a coward to my own fear

Oh hold you in my arms and keep you from harm if I could

Oh hold them in my arms and keep them from doing harm like I should
