It's hard to believe what we see
Time after time, the pain and the sorrow
And someday we'll say let it be
They hide their eyes and turn from the sorrow

Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away

What does it take to show that you care?
Open your eyes, for life we all share

Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away

And is it hard to think of this
As a world full of sorrow and shame
It surely will change when we open our hearts

It's so easy to help when all is said
They're born, they breed, and hurt like us

It's hard to believe what we see (time after time)
Time after time, the pain and the sorrow
And someday we'll say let it be (time after time)
They hide their eyes and turn from the sorrow

Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away

Time after time, we share the crime
Time after time we turn away
