Love was taken from a young life And no one told her why Her direction has a dimlight
From one more violent crime She innocently questioned why Why her father had to die
She asked the men in blue How is it that you get to choose Who will live and who will die
Did god say that you could decide You saw he didn't run And that my daddy had no gun
In the middle of a village Way in a distant land Lies a poor boy with his broken toy
Too young to understand He's awaken, ground is shakin His father grabs his hand
Screaming, crying, his wife's dying Now he's left to explain
He innocently questioned why Why his mother had to die
What did these soldiers come here for If they're for peace, why is there war ?
Did God say that they could decide Who will live and who will die ?
All my mama ever did Was try to take care of her kids
We're innocently standing by Watching people lose their lives
It seems as if we have no voice It's time for us to make a choice
Only god could decide Who will live and who will die
There's nothing that can't be done If we raise our voice as one
They've gotta hear it from me They've gotta hear it from you
They've gotta hear it from us We can't take it We've already had enough
They've gotta hear it from me They've gotta hear it from you
They've gotta hear it from us We can't take it We've already had enough
Deep in my soul baby Deep in your soul and let God decide
Deep in my soul It's up to me and i'm still alive They've gotta hear it from us
We can't take it We've already had enough It's going down baby Just let God decide,
They've gotta hear it from you They've gotta hear it from us
We can't, we can't We've already had enough (sing365)
Jackson wrote this with ballad songwriter Carol Bayer Sager. The song is about the war in Iraq. (songfacts.com)
Iraq War was a conflict that occurred in Iraq from March 20, 2003 to December 18, 2011
Prior to the war, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom claimed that Iraq's alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed a threat to their security and that of their coalition/regional allies. In 2002, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which called for Iraq to completely cooperate with UN weapon inspectors to verify that Iraq was not in possession of WMD and cruise missiles. The United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission(UNMOVIC) found no evidence of WMD, but could not verify the accuracy of Iraq's weapon declarations. (wikipedia)
