Around

Around Now every heart rises and falls
Every soul has its hour to call
Like evening stars that disappear
No one sees the other outlive their years

Eight billion faces eyes of stone
Every breath they take is on loan
Hatred buries most of them in the ground
How much longer before its time to spread love around

Rulers of nations sing like meadowlarks
They have no idea the life inside of the dark
On a bed of promises history repeats
All of the shame the globe has to eat

A kind word never goes too far
Wish hatred didn't rule the way we are
How many more tears must fall down
How much longer before its time to spread love around
