China White Lyrics

Sometimes it seems the good times
Never will return
A lot has changed, babe
'Cause evil rules the world

You said you're looking for a place
Where there's no hate
Oh, babe, it really makes no sense
To escape

How long will it take
To make the world a flaming star
How long will it take
Till they stop their senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again

The only future we've got
Exists right now
Let's take the time, babe
As long as the world is turning 'round

How long will it take
To make the earth a fireball
How long will it take
Till no more life exists at all
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again
It's up to you
To fight the evil in your mind
It's up to you
The more love you give, the more you'll find
The more love you give, the more you'll find

Don't make the world a flaming star
Stop, stop all these senseless wars
How long will it take
Till everybody will understand
That we need to fill our hearts with love again
