"Live In Peace" lyrics - PAUL RODGERS

Early in the morning, just as the sun was rising.
Came without a warning, the sound of the uprising.
Yeah Gunfire in the streets, women and children crying.
The crush of marching feet, men and young boys dying, yeah yeah

Why can't we live, in peace?

We live in troubled times, the shadow of annihilation,
Troubles every mind, and chills the heart of every nation.
Darkness fills the night, she tries to steal your soul away.
Killing in the sunlight, she spreads her shadows through the day.

Why can't we live in peace?
Why can't we have no release?

You and I we don't know why so many people die.
You and I we don't understand all the black ways of man.

Why cant we live in peace?
Why can't we have no release?
