Be Not Always

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 Of flesh and blood We turn our backs on life How can we claim to stand for peace When the races are in strife Destroying life Always, be not always But if always Bow our heads in shame Always, please, please be not always 'Cause if always Bow our heads in blame 'Cause time, time has made promises Death promises
