Always be not always and if always, bow our heads in shame
Always, please be not always
And if always, bow our heads in blame
'Cause time has made promises, just promises

Faces, did you see their faces?
Did they touch you?
Have you felt such pain?
To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping
Is not life but lame?
But time has made promises, just promises

Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and
Research lies in progress to become

But what of men are flesh and blood?
We turn our backs on life
How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in
Strife, destroying life?

Always, be not always
But if always, bow our heads in shame
Always, please, be not always
'Cause if always, bow our heads in blame
'Cause time has made promises, just promises
