God, for the life of me
I don't know why
We hurt each other
In the name of what is right.
God, for the life of me
I don't understand
Echos everyday of man's
Inhumanity to man.
Man's inhumanity to man.

[Chorus]
There's a river of sorrow
Running through my heart.
Through the long night I will follow
The glimmer in the dark.
Lord, you are the human spark.

God, for the life of me
I cannot explain
How people born of love
Lose their way to hate.
Oh, there's gotta be a better way.

[Chorus]
