Caught inside the crossfire

There’s nowhere left to run

They said it would be easy 

They said it would be fun

But yesterday a friend of mine

Became a friend no more

They gathered all the pieces

They found lying on the floor

Caught inside the crossfire

Can’t see no way out of here

Caught in the crossfire

There’s nothing left to cheer

Maybe the time will come

When I can be with you

Maybe a time will come

When all of this will be through

 

We’re caught in the crossfire, of those from left and right

They say that we have choices, for whom we choose to fight

How can we decide or say, who’s right and who is wrong

Those who know keep lying, the truth we had is gone

Caught inside the crossfire, but who began this game

Caught inside the crossfire, the world has gone insane

Someone there should understand, that someone’s getting hurt

That’s mothers there and children, you see lying in the dirt

 

How can we sit in silence

How can we choose to ignore

What will we do when there’s nothing left

And how could we walk out the door?

How can we chide the children

When are the ones to blame?

How can we make things better now

How can we ease the pain

 

Caught inside the crossfire, tween politics and law

We watch it on our TV screens, so easy to ignore

We know the ones we voted for, who told us they were bold

They’re selling lies to all sides now, while counting out their gold

If we could see the future, we surely then would change

All those things we’ve said and done, we’d try to rearrange

There’s time enough to alter, there’s time to make things right

We only have to understand, the answer’s not to fight

 

How can we sit in silence

How can we choose to ignore

What will we do when there’s nothing left

And how could we walk out the door?

How can we chide the children

When are the ones to blame?

How can we make things better now

How can we ease the pain
