[Verse 1]
I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die

[Chorus 1]
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we get it right

[Chorus 1]
Because we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one

[Verse 2]
I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died

[Chorus 1]
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we stop the fight

[Chorus 2]
Because we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one
Because we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why can't we live as one

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think I'm going mad
We're losing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesn't change
We've got to rearrange and bring our world some love
And does it really matter
If there's a heaven up above
We sure could use some love

[Chorus 2]
Because we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one
Because we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why can't we live as one
