Thom Quick - Raging River Lyrics

As we touch our trembling hands, make a promise
Agree that we can live on side by side
Must there be just one belief
One religion that owns the holy land

Many years has past us by
Why must we fight with our brothers
We keep it bottled up inside

And the raging river runs
Why do we throw it all away with the weapons of mass destruction

And the raging river runs
There will be a better day if we live with each other

Mommy looks so sad to her children
To Dad she was a shy devoted wife
Now, she looks through iron bars and remembers the night she took his life

Cause the raging river runs
Why did he throw it all away with the words of mass destruction
And the raging river runs
There can be a better day if we learn to love each other

Life's a gift we're given, like a second chance
Just because we disagree, must we take a stance

And when look at what we're taught by example
It makes no sense when we analyze the truth of battles won and lost
Never ending - The tragedy the cost

Many years has past us by, why must we fight with our brothers
We keep it bottled up inside

And the raging river runs - Why do we throw it all away
Why can't we learn to live together
And the raging river runs - There can be a better day if we love with each other
And the raging river runs - We can throw it all away or we can learn to love each other
Raging river runs - There can be a better day if we love with each other
