How high a mountain must I climb
To reach for air
To breath the air so clear so pure
Could blow my mind
In my mind there is a place
For everyone for every taste
But in this life reality can shoot you dead
For the color of your face
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
We can't change the fact we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
I've seen a poison river flow
A land where nothing grows
I've watched the men of fascist mind
Kill in the name of love
The futile war the human crime
The sacred scream just biding time
And who are we to take in vain
This precious world I'm full of shame
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
We can't change the fact we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
If the dream's gone wrong
Let your heart be strong
If the dream's gone wrong
Don't let hope fade away
And who are we to take in vain
This precious world I'm full of shame
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
We can't change the fact we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
We can't change the fact we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
We can't change the fact we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
We can't change the fact we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
