Lyric

Another morning, another fight

Everybody says that they are right

Flags are waving, voices getting loud

Same old story going round and round

Big old words on the TV screen

Telling us who our enemies should be

While down the street two little kids

Are sharing one ice cream

Maybe we forgot

Something simple on the way

Maybe they can show us

How to start again

Children

Run into the sun

You don't need the battles

That we never could have won

Children

Make your own way

Take this tired old world

And paint it your own way

Different names

Different dreams

Different ways to see

Maybe you can make this world

A little better than we did

We built the walls

We made the rules

We drew the borders on the maps at school

We learned to argue

We learned to blame

We got so good at giving things a name

But in the park

Nobody cares

Who came from here

Or who came from there

There's just a ball

A summer sky

And someone saying

"Hey, wanna play?"

Maybe that's enough

Maybe that's where it begins

No big revolution

Just

"Can I be your friend?"

Children

Run into the sun

You don't need the battles

That we never could have won

Children

Make your own way

Take this tired old world

And paint it your own way

Different names

Different dreams

Different ways to see

Maybe you can make this world

A little better than we did

Don't carry all our anger

Don't memorize our fears

You don't have to keep

The things we've carried all these years

Plant something new

Where the old walls used to be

And when it starts to grow

Leave some room for me

Children

Run into the sun

Laugh a little louder

Let tomorrow come

Children

Make your own way

There's a million different colors

Waiting for another day

Different names

Different dreams

That's alright with me

Keep on running

Keep on laughing

Be whoever you wanna be

The sun is up

The sky is blue

Someone kicks the ball

"Hey!

Can I play with you?"

"Sure!"

And everybody runs
